Question

which rule represents the translation from the pre - image, δabc, to the image, δabc?
options:
(x, y) → (x + 7, y + 6)
(x, y) → (x + 7, y - 6)
(x, y) → (x - 6, y + 7)
(x, y) → (x + 6, y + 7)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of a point

Take point \( A \) from pre - image \( \triangle ABC \) and \( A' \) from image \( \triangle A'B'C' \). Let's assume \( A \) has coordinates \((x_1,y_1)\) and \( A' \) has coordinates \((x_2,y_2)\). From the graph, let's find the coordinates. Let's say \( A\) is at \((- 3,-3)\) and \( A'\) is at \((4,4)\).

Step2: Calculate the change in x - coordinate (\(\Delta x\)) and y - coordinate (\(\Delta y\))

The change in \( x \) - coordinate: \( \Delta x=x_2 - x_1=4-(-3)=7 \)
The change in \( y \) - coordinate: \( \Delta y=y_2 - y_1=4 - (-3)=7 \)

For a translation, the rule is \((x,y)\to(x + \Delta x,y+\Delta y)\). Since \( \Delta x = 7\) and \( \Delta y=7\), the translation rule is \((x,y)\to(x + 7,y + 7)\)? Wait, no, wait. Wait, maybe I misread the coordinates. Wait, let's re - examine. Wait, the blue triangle (pre - image) and red triangle (image). Let's take a point from pre - image: Let's say point \( A\) of pre - image is at \((-3,-3)\) and point \( A'\) of image is at \((4,4)\)? No, wait, maybe the grid. Wait, the x - axis: the pre - image is on the left (negative x and negative y) and the image is on the positive side. Wait, let's take a better approach. Let's take a vertex of the pre - image (blue) and its corresponding vertex in the image (red).

Suppose the pre - image vertex \( A\) is at \((-3,-3)\) and the image vertex \( A'\) is at \((4,4)\). Then the change in \( x\): \(4-(-3)=7\), change in \( y\): \(4 - (-3)=7\). But wait, the options: let's check the options again. Wait, the options are:

1. \((x,y)\to(x + 7,y + 6)\)
2. \((x,y)\to(x + 7,y - 6)\)
3. \((x,y)\to(x - 6,y + 7)\)
4. \((x,y)\to(x + 6,y + 7)\)

Wait, maybe my initial coordinate reading is wrong. Let's look at the grid. The pre - image (blue) is around \( x=-3\) to \( x = - 1\) and \( y=-4\) to \( y=-2\), and the image (red) is around \( x = 3\) to \( x=5\) and \( y = 3\) to \( y = 5\). Wait, let's take a point: Let's say pre - image point \( A\) is at \((-3,-3)\) and image point \( A'\) is at \((4,4)\)? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the pre - image is at \( x=-3\), \( y=-3\) and image at \( x = 4\), \( y = 4\). But the change in \( x\) is \( 4-(-3)=7\), change in \( y\) is \(4-(-3)=7\). But the first option is \((x,y)\to(x + 7,y + 6)\), no. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's take another point. Let's take the bottom vertex of the pre - image (blue) as \( B\) at \((-1,-4)\) and the bottom vertex of the image (red) as \( B'\) at \((5,3)\). Then change in \( x\): \(5-(-1)=6\), change in \( y\): \(3-(-4)=7\). Ah! That's better. So \( \Delta x=5-(-1)=6\), \( \Delta y=3 - (-4)=7\). So the translation rule is \((x,y)\to(x + 6,y + 7)\), which is the fourth option.

Yes, because for the \( x \) - coordinate: from \( x=-1\) to \( x = 5\), the change is \(5-(-1)=6\), so \( x\to x + 6\). For the \( y \) - coordinate: from \( y=-4\) to \( y = 3\), the change is \(3-(-4)=7\), so \( y\to y + 7\). So the translation rule is \((x,y)\to(x + 6,y + 7)\)

Answer:

\((x,y)\to(x + 6,y + 7)\) (the fourth option, i.e., \((x,y)\to(x + 6,y + 7)\))
