Question

which transformation would move a point directly downwards on the coordinate plane? a. reflection b. scaling c. translation d. rotation how do you perform a translation on a graph? a. divide coordinates b. multiply coordinates c. rotate coordinates d. add or subtract from coordinates which coordinates represent a point 3 units left and 2 units down from the origin? a. (-3, 2) b. (3, 2) c. (3, -2) d. (-3, -2) what does the x - coordinate of a point on the coordinate plane specify? a. the vertical position b. the horizontal position c. the rotational position d. the diagonal position

Explanation:

1. Translation moves points. Moving down is a translation.
2. Translations add/subtract from coordinates.
3. Left is -x, down is -y, so (-3,-2).
4. x - coordinate is horizontal position.

Answer:

1. c. Translation
2. d. Add or subtract from coordinates
3. d. (-3, -2)
4. b. The horizontal position
