Response:

Choice A - $(x, y)\rightarrow (x +1, y - 9)$

Detailed explanation:

What we have: A square is moved 9 units downward and 1 unit to the right on a coordinate plane.

What needs to be determined: Which function rule describes this translation?

Resolution:

Let (x, y) denote the coordinates on the plane.

x indicates the horizontal shift, while y denotes the vertical shift.

There is a movement 'a' units downwards $x\rightarrow x+a$

There is a movement 'b' units to the right $x\rightarrow x-b$

It moves 9 units down and 1 unit to the right.

$(x, y)\rightarrow (x +1, y - 9)$

Thus, Option A is the right answer.

In this case,

A square on a coordinate plane moves down by $9$ units and to the right by $1$ unit.

This implies that

the translation rule is

$(x,y)------> (x+1,y-9)$

thus,

the right option is A

T1, –9(x, y)
