Translations

Question 7 • Pre-Algebra - MA3119 B-CR

If the point G(–4, 6) was moved horizontally 4 units to the left, which of the following is the correct mapping to define the translation?

Answer
A
(x, y) (x, y + 4)
B
(x, y) (x + 4, y)
C
(x, y) (x, y – 4)
D
(x, y) (x – 4, y)

Explanation

A horizontal translation changes the x-coordinate while leaving the y-coordinate unchanged. Moving 4 units to the left means subtracting 4 from x, so the mapping is (x, y) → (x − 4, y), which is choice D.
