Answer 1

heres how it is

Answer 2

heres the choices.

Answer 3

so let's just pick one point on that object and move that point to the right two spaces and down three. The correct answer will be the one that has that same point in the new place.

Answer 4

okay point H ?

Answer 5

sure sounds good. If we move it to the right 2 (that's what the x+2 part means), where will it be?

Answer 6

at 3 ?

Answer 7

so it's starting on the line, right? That's where x=0, on that line. So if we move it to the right 2 spaces it should be at 2, right?

Answer 8

ohhh yeah hah

Answer 9

ok sweet. So now we just have to move it down three (for the y-3 part). Right now it's at -4, so if we move it down 3, where will it be?

Answer 10

at -7 ? :o
