Question

the translation above shows an object moving ____________. a. 9 units to the right and 2 units down b. 8 units to the right and 3 units down c. 9 units to the right and 3 units down d. 8 units to the right and 2 units down

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze horizontal movement

Count the number of grid - squares the object moves horizontally. The left - most point of the original object is at \(x=-5\) and the left - most point of the new object is at \(x = 3\). The change in \(x\) is \(3-(-5)=8\) units to the right.

Step2: Analyze vertical movement

Count the number of grid - squares the object moves vertically. The top - most point of the original object is at \(y = 5\) and the top - most point of the new object is at \(y = 3\). The change in \(y\) is \(3 - 5=- 2\) units, which means 2 units down.

Answer:

D. 8 units to the right and 2 units down
