Answer 1

@PizzaLover123 I would be glad to comment on it if you show your work or explain how you would get the answer.

Answer 2

I dont know what grid to use @mathmate

Answer 3

You don't need to choose a grid.

If you work graphically, any grid will do.

If you work by the transformation:
\(t_{8,-6}:(x,y) -> (x+8,y-6)\)
then you don't need a grid.

Have you read my example from a previous post on doing a transformation algebraically (similar to above)?
