Question

Which is a coordinate rule for the translation of f(x) to g(x)?

A. (x, y) → (x + 5, y – 4)
B. (x, y) → (x – 4, y + 5)
C. (x, y) → (x – 5, y + 4)
D. (x, y) → (x + 4, y – 5)

Answer 1

Isn't there any more information for this problem?

Answer 2

Yes, sorry, forgot to post the picture.

Answer 3

Pick an easily identifiable point on the original function, such as the vertex. Now, figure out what you have to do to move that point to its new location on the coordinate planr.

Answer 4

Oh, like the bottom point?

Answer 5

Yes, that is the vertex.

Answer 6

Oh, okay. I see that it has moved over 5 and down 4.

Answer 7

Yes, so which answer is that?

Answer 8

I think it's A.

Answer 9

We are in agreement :-)
