Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.
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?
A. (x, y) (x - 3, y + 4), and then (x, y) --> (x + 7, y - 1)
B. (x, y) (x - 4, y + 3), and then (x, y) --> (x + 6, y - 1)
C. (x, y) (x + 4, y - 3), and then (x, y) --> (x - 9, y + 1)
D. (x, y) (x - 3, y + 4), and then (x, y) --> (x + 8, y - 1

Answer 1

The original position is (1,2) so x = 1 and y = 2.
For option A) find x-3 (1-3 = -2) and y+4 ( 2+4 = 6) so the passenger was picked up from (-2, 6).
Similarly find the final position from (x+7 , y-1).
The basis is that the total distance covered is 16 blocks. check whether between the initial and the final positions the distance is 16 blocks, and you'll get the correct option.

Answer 2

the answer is A?

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

let's take a peek at B

Answer 7

Now follow the same steps as outlined by @jdoe0001 for the other two options and check whether the total distance is 16 blocks.
P.S nice work @jdoe0001
