The point (1, 4) is translated so it ends on the coordinates (-2, 2). Which of the following describes the translation?
left 3 and down 2
left 2 and down 2
down 2 and left 2
down 3 and left 2

Respuesta :

Answer:

The first answer choice is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (1, 4) and ending up at (-2, 2), we see that the original point is now 3 units to the left of its starting position, and 2 units down.

Clarification:  from x = 1 to x = -2 is 3 units (to the left), and

                       from y = 4 to y = 2 is 2 units (down)

The first answer choice is the correct one.
