Describe in words the translation represented by the translation rule (x, y) the image is a right pointing arrow. (x – 7, y – 7) a. 7 units to the left and 7 units down b. 7 units to the left and 7 units up c. 7 units to the right and 7 units up d. 7 units to the right and 7 units down

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rule of translation is

       ..... (1)

The rule of translation is defined as

     ......(2)

Where, a is horizontal translation and b is vertical translation.

If a>0, then graph shifts a units right and if a<0, then graph shifts a units left.

If b>0, then graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then graph shifts b units down.

From equation (1) and (2) we get

Since a=-7<0 and b=-7<0, therefore graph translated 7 units to the left and 7 units down.

Therefore the correct option is A.
