Question

1. which of the following best describes how to translate a figure 2 units to the left and 5 units down? add 2 to x coordinate, subtract 5 from y coordinate subtract 2 from x coordinate, add 5 to y coordinate subtract 2 from x coordinate, subtract 5 from y coordinate add 2 to x coordinate, add 5 to y coordinate

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze horizontal translation

When translating a figure to the left, we subtract from the \(x\) - coordinate. Translating 2 units to the left means we subtract 2 from the \(x\) - coordinate.

Step2: Analyze vertical translation

When translating a figure down, we subtract from the \(y\) - coordinate. Translating 5 units down means we subtract 5 from the \(y\) - coordinate.

Answer:

Subtract 2 from \(x\) coordinate, subtract 5 from \(y\) coordinate.
