Question

If Figure A is translated 5 units right and 2 units down, which figure will be the correct final representation of Figure A?

• A. Figure B
• B. Figure C
• C. Figure D
• D. All the figures are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is A Figure B

Original image is Figure A.

The coordinates of the figure are:

On translating the figure by 5 units right, we see:

So, the coordinates are written as:

Original coordinate	Changed coordinate
(0,2)	(5,2)
(-2,0)	(3,0)
(2,0)	(7,0)

Now on translating the last obtained figure 2 units down, we get:

So, the final coordinates are written as:

Original coordinate	Final coordinate
(0,2)	(5,0)
(-2,0)	(3,-2)
(2,0)	(7,-2)

We observe that the coordinates of Figure B only matches with the final coordinates.

So, Option (A) is correct.
