Question

A triangle in the coordinate plane has coordinates of (3, 5), (1, −3), and (−3, 4). It is translated so that its new coordinates are (1, 7), (−1, −1), and (−5, 6). What translation occurred?

Answer 1

2 units left; 2 units up

Explanation:

The difference between corresponding points is ...

(1, 7)-(3, 5) = (-2, 2)

The change in x-value is -2, a shift of 2 units left.

The change in y-value is +2, a shift of 2 units up.
