The endpoints of a segment are (4, 2) and (-2, 2). what are the endpoints of the segment after it has been translated 6 units
down?
a. (4, -4), (-2,-4)
b. (4, -4), (-2,2)
c. (4.6). (-2, 6)
d. (4.8). (-2,8)

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation six units down would mean you can subtract 6 from your y value.

Seeing as 2 is your y value for both points, -4 will become your y value for both translated points. This makes your new set of points:

(4, -4)

(-2, -4)

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation of 6 units down means subtract 6 from the original y- coordinates while the x- coordinates remain unchanged, that is

(4, 2 ) → (4, 2 - 6 ) → (4, - 4 )

(- 2, 2 ) → (- 2, 2 - 6 ) → (- 2, - 4 )

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
