Question

What is the description of the translation represented by the translation rule (x,y) to (x-2,y+2)?

Answer 1

Diagonal Translation

Explanation:

The x coordinate decreases by 2, which indicates a downward translation, and the coordinate increases by 2, which indicates it is traveling to the right.

Answer 2

Point (x,y) is translated to (x-2,y+2).

When a point (x,y) is translated, the x coordinate is either translated horizontally right or left and y coordinate is translated either vertically up or down.

When x coordinate is translated by k, i.e horizontally right ,it means x→x+k, and horizontally left then ,x→x-k

Similarly,when y coordinate is translated vertically up by m, then, y→y+m, and horizontally left then , y→y-m

Now, (x,y)→(x-2,y+2), it means x coordinate is translated horizontally left by 2 units and y coordinate is translated vertically up by 2 units.
