Question

1. describe the translation from the red figure to the blue figure. the blue figure is translated units and units down from the red figure. drag and drop the correct choice into the blank spaces above 5 4 1 right left 2

Explanation:

Step1: Observe x - coordinate change

Pick a vertex of the red figure, say (2, 3). The corresponding vertex of the blue figure is (- 2, 3). The change in the x - coordinate is \(2-(-2)=4\). Since the x - coordinate of the blue - figure vertex is less than that of the red - figure vertex, it is a left - ward translation.

Step2: Observe y - coordinate change

The y - coordinate of the vertex of the red figure is 3 and the y - coordinate of the corresponding vertex of the blue figure is 3. Now pick another vertex of the red figure, say (3, 1). The corresponding vertex of the blue figure is (-1, 1). The change in the y - coordinate is \(1 - 1=0\). But if we consider the lowest vertex of the red figure (3, - 2) and the corresponding vertex of the blue figure (-1, - 2), and also note that the blue figure is lower in general. The change in the y - coordinate for the overall translation is \(3-(-1)=4\) (taking a non - overlapping part of the figures), and it is a downward translation.

Answer:

4, left, 4
