Point (m, n) is transformed by the rule ​(m−3, n)​.

What type of transformation occurred?

a translation of 3 units to the right

a translation of 3 units up

a translation of 3 units down

a translation of 3 units to the left

Respuesta :

A translation of 3 units to the left

Answer:  The correct option is

(D) a translation of 3 units to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the point (m, n) is transformed by the rule ​(m−3, n)​.

We are to select the correct transformation that occurred.

We know that

if a point (a, b) is translated to (a-k, b), then it means that the point is translated k units to the left.

Since (m, n) is transformed by the rule ​(m−3, n)​, so it means that the point (m, n) is translated 3 units to the left.

Thus, the required transformation is

"a translation of 3 units to the left".

Thus, (A) is the correct option.
