Question

transformation of figure a. a slide is also called a translation. a translation moves each point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction. describe the translation. figure a is translated
units
to form figure b.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify a reference point

Take a vertex of figure A, say the left - most bottom vertex. In figure A, let's assume its coordinate (for simplicity, considering the grid) is, for example, (x₁,y₁). In figure B, the corresponding vertex has a coordinate (x₂,y₁) (since the y - coordinate doesn't change, so there is no vertical translation).

Step2: Calculate the horizontal translation

We can count the number of grid units between the x - coordinates of the corresponding vertices. By looking at the grid, we can see that the horizontal distance between the corresponding vertices of figure A and figure B is 6 units, and since figure B is to the left of figure A, the translation is 6 units to the left.

Answer:

6 units to the left
