A rectangle on a coordinate plane is translated 5 units up and 3 units to the left. Which rule describes the translation?
A) (x, y) → (x + 5, y – 3)
B) (x, y) → (x + 5, y + 3)
C) (x, y) → (x – 3, y + 5)
D) (x, y) → (x + 3, y + 5)

Any time you move up or down, it affects the y coordinate and going up is positive so 5 units up is y + 5.
Moving left or right affects the x coordinate and moving left is negative so x - 3

(x - 3, y + 5)

So the answer is Option C).

The rule that describes the translation is C) (x, y) → (x – 3, y + 5)

What is a Translation?

This refers to the movement of a shape from one point to another, without altering its appearance.

With this in mind,

Once there is an upwards or downwards movement, there is a shift in the y coordinate

A move to the left or right movement, the x- coordinate is affected and moving left is negative

Hence,

y-coordinate is positive

x-coordinate is negative

Therefore, the rectangle translating 5 units up and 3 units to the left would be: (x, y) → (x – 3, y + 5)
