Question

Medals to them that answer and explain :)
A figure on the coordinate plane is translated to the right. What will happen to its coordinates?

The x -coordinates will increase.
The y -coordinates will increase.
The x -coordinates' signs will change.
The y -coordinates' signs will change.

Answer 1

Do you have an image?

Answer 2

nope that's why I'm having trouble, or else I'd be able to figure it out on my own. :(

Answer 3

I believe it that the x-coordinates will increase

Answer 4

I'd go with that.

Answer 5

but it is possible that the x-coordinates' sign changes if it goes from 1st to 2nd quadrant, or vice versa

Answer 6

but go with my first answer, since they don't explicitly tell you that it changes quadrants

Answer 7

perhaps both answers are correct.

Answer 8

x-axis is associated with horizontal movement, and the y-axis is associated with vertical movement.

Answer 9

You were right @ddiez :) Thanks so much!

Answer 10

:) np

Answer 11

if f(x) is your function f(x-c) gets translated to the right c units. If f(x) is your function, f(x+c) gets translated to the left c units.
