Question

1. describe the transformation (x,y) → (x + 12,y - 2) in words.

Explanation:

The transformation $(x,y)\to(x + 12,y - 2)$ means for every point $(x,y)$ in the original figure, the $x$-coordinate is increased by 12 (moves 12 units to the right since adding to the $x$-value moves horizontally to the right) and the $y$-coordinate is decreased by 2 (moves 2 units down since subtracting from the $y$-value moves vertically down).

Answer:

The transformation is a translation 12 units to the right and 2 units down.
