Question

Use the graph to answer the question. Determine the translation used to create the image.

A. 7 units to the right
B. 7 units to the left
C. 3 units to the right
D. 3 units to the left

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Notice that the image of the point A(1,5) is A'(8,5).

Since the image and the original points have the same y-coordinates, so there is no vertical translation.

However, we do notice that the x-coordinate increases from x=1 to x=8.

So, there is a horizontal translation to the right by 8-1=7 units.
