Question
A translation moves every point of a figure
- the same distance in the opposite direction
- in the same direction
- the same distance
Hint:
Use definition of translation
The correct answer is: the same distance
Translations only move things from one place to another. They don't change their size, arrangement, or direction. So, it moves every point of a figure by the same distance in the same direction.

Which of the following could be the x-coordinate of a solution to the system of equations above?
Note:
If we had to find the y-coordinate of the system of equations, then we put this value of x in the equation to get the value of y. Here, we got a quadratic equation of x, which did not have any term containing x, so it was easier to solve. If the quadratic equation was of the form
, then we would use the quadratic formula
to solve the equation.
