Problem 139

Geometry Difficulty 1.4 Multiple choice CEMC Gauss (Grade 7) · Canada · 2025

The coordinates of $R$ are
$(2,6)$ , as shown. After which of
these translations will $R$ move to
the point $(7,0)$ ?

Pick one

Official solution

The $x$ -coordinate of $(2,6)$ is $5$ less than the $x$ -coordinate of $(7,0)$ , and so $R$ must be translated right $5$ .

The $y$ -coordinate of $(2,6)$ is $6$ more than the $y$ -coordinate of $(7,0)$ , and so $R$ must be translated down $6$ .

Thus, the translation right $5$ , down
$6$ will move $R(2,6)$ to $(7,0)$ .
