A figure is translated using the mapping (x, y) → (x a, y b). If the value of a is negative and the value of b is negative, which best describes the translation? The figure moves left and up. The figure moves left and down. The figure moves right and up. The figure moves right and down.

Respuesta :

The figure goes towards left and down.

Option B is the correct answer.

How do you find out the nature of graph line?

Given function is (x, y) → (x a, y b).

Also given that the value of a is negative and the value of b is negative.

Let us consider a graph whose horizontal axis represents the values of x and the verticle axis represents the values of y. The graph will have four quadrants starting from the top-right end.

  • Quadrant 1 shows positive values of x and y.
  • Quadrant 2 shows positive values of y and a negative value of x.
  • Quadrant 3 shows negative values of x and y.
  • Quadrant 4 shows positive values of x and a negative value of y.

If the values of a and b are negative, then it will fall under quadrat 3.

Hence we can conclude that the figure will moves left and down.
