Question

A figure is translated down 6 units. How will the coordinates of the vertices of the image be different from the coordinates of the vertices of the pre-image?

Answer 1

The y coordinates in the image with be six less than the corresponding y coordinate in the preimage.

The x coordinates won't change.

Answer 2

(x,y) --> (x,y-6)

Explanation:

Given that a figure is translated down 6 units.

Since there is no horizontal change the image will have the same coordinates for x.

Only y coordinate will be reduced by 6

So (x,y) would be transformed to

(x,y-6)
