A triangle on a coordinate plane is translated according to the rule T-8, 4 (x, y). Which is another way to write this rule?

(x, y) → (x + 4, y - 8)

(x, y) → (x - 4, y - 8)

(x, y) → (x - 8, y + 4)

(x, y) → (x + 8, y - 4)

A triangle on a coordinate plane is translated according to the rule T-8, 4 (x, y). Which is another way to write this rule?

(x, y) → (x + 4, y - 8)

(x, y) → (x - 4, y - 8)

(x, y) → (x - 8, y + 4)

(x, y) → (x + 8, y - 4)

The correct answer is:

(x, y) → (x-8, y+4).

Explanation:

The horizontal part of a translation is written first in the rule, as an x-coordinate is written first in an ordered pair. The horizontal part is - 8; this means we subtract 8 from the x-coordinate, or x-8.

The vertical part of a translation is written second in the rule, as a y-coordinate is written second in an ordered pair. The vertical part is 4; this means we add 4 to the y-coordinate, or y+4.
