In a translation of axes, the positive x' and y' directions are taken to be
Athe same as positive x and y
Bturned by 90 degrees
Creversed for y only
Dopposite to positive x and y
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. the same as positive x and y
Translation only moves the origin, so the new axes point the same way as the old ones.
