Question

A submarine, located at point S, was hidden at a secret place on a coordinate plane before it

moved to its current position. The movement of the submarine is described by the translation x,y→x+4,y-6.

Answer 1

Answer:

The submarine moves 4 units right and 6 units down to get to its current position

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x,y) \to (x + 4, y - 6)$

Required

Describe the movement of the submarine from the initial to the current position

The rule of translation is as follows:

$x \to x + a$ --- This implies right translation by a units

$y \to y -b$ --- This implies down translation by b units

So, we have:

$x \to x + a$

$x \to x + 4$

By comparison;

$a =4$

$y \to y -b$

$y \to y - 6$

By comparison:

$b = 6$

Hence, the submarine moves 4 units right and 6 units down to get to its current position
