Question

ryan wants to describe the translation shown on the grid. ryan uses the following steps to describe the translation. ryans work step 1: identify the pre - image and the image. the pre - image is triangle xyz, and the image is xyz. step 2: identify the number of units that each point moves horizontally. each point moves one unit left. step 3: identify the number of units that each point moves vertically. each point moves three units down. step 4: the translation is one unit left and three units down. in which step did ryan make the first error?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the horizontal movement

Looking at the coordinates of corresponding points (e.g., for a vertex of the triangle), we can see that the horizontal movement is \(4\) units to the right (not \(1\) unit left as in Step 2).

Step2: Analyze the vertical movement

Looking at the coordinates of corresponding points (e.g., for a vertex of the triangle), we can see that the vertical movement is \(2\) units up (not \(3\) units down as in Step 4).

Step3: Check Step 3

Since the problem is about finding the first error, and Step 2 has an incorrect horizontal movement description (should be right - ward movement instead of left - ward), we focus on Step 2.

Answer:

Step 2
