Question

A taxicab starts at (1, -2) on the grid and picks up a passenger. The taxicab travels a total of 16 blocks, and then drops the passenger off. Which composition of two translations could describe the taxicab’s final position?

Answer 1

is there a picture of "the grid", and which choices are there?

Answer 2

(x, y) (x - 4, y + 3), and then (x, y) (x + 6, y - 1).
(x, y) (x - 3, y + 4), and then (x, y) (x + 7, y - 1).
(x, y) (x + 4, y - 3), and then (x, y) (x - 9, y + 1).
(x, y) (x - 3, y + 4), and then (x, y) (x + 8, y - 1).

Answer 4

https: :/

Answer 5

thats the URL

Answer 6

the url works, usually they don't

Answer 7

doesn't shed much light on the blocks though

Answer 8

thats all my math book gives me :/

Answer 9

well, if I understand correctly, the "moves" or "offsets" are from the "current position"
so, let see the 1st one
(x, y) (x - 4, y + 3), it went "4 units to the left" over the x-axis, then "3 units to the right" over the y-axis
THEN
(x, y) (x + 6, y - 1). it went from there, "6 units to the right" over x-axis,, and "1 unit to the left" over the y-axis
so the taxicab went, 4+6 units over the x-axis
3+1 units over the y-axis
so, 4+6+3+1 \(\ne\) 16

so, that's not it

Answer 10

let's see the 2nd one
(x, y) (x - 3, y + 4), and then (x, y) (x + 7, y - 1).
3+7+4+1 \(\ne\) 16
so it's not that one either

Answer 11

the 3rd option
(x, y) (x + 4, y - 3), and then (x, y) (x - 9, y + 1).
4+9+3+1 \(\ne\) 16
no dice there too

Answer 12

last but not least
(x, y) (x - 3, y + 4), and then (x, y) (x + 8, y - 1).
3+8+4+1 = 11+5 = 16

Answer 13

thank you so much that problem has been bugging me that i have not been able to solve it
