Question

What are the coordinates of the points (8,1) after a translation left 4 units.a.(8,5) b.(4,1) c.(4,-3) d. (2,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

B. (4,1)

Explanation:

If the point (x,y) is translated left 4 units, we have the rule:

$(x,y)\rightarrow(x-4,y)$

Therefore, if the point (8,1) is translated 4 units left, we have:

$(8,1)\rightarrow(8-4,1)=(4,1)$
