Find the horizontal change and the vertical change for the translation.

Question

P(4, -4) (-4, 7)

A. right 8; up 11
b. left 8; down 11
c. right 8; down 11
d. left 8; up 11

Answer 1

To find the horizontal change, subtract the x-coordinate of the original point from the x-coordinate of the image: -4 - 4 = -8. To find the vertical change, subtract the y-coordinate of the original point from the y-coordinate of the image: 7 - (-4) = 11. Therefore, the answer is option C, right 8; down 11.
