Answer:

The new co-ordinates are A¹ ( -2 , 0)

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Point A of rectangle ABCD is located at coordinates (3,7).

Type of transformation change of co-ordinate point

Vertical translation up 'd' units (x, y)→ (x, y +d)

Vertical translation down 'd' units (x, y)→ (x, y -d)

Horizontal translation left 'C' units (x, y)→ (x - c , y)

Horizontal translation right 'C' units (x, y)→ (x + c , y)

Step(ii):-

Given rectangle ABCD is translated down 7 and left 5

Given Point A(3 ,7)

Vertical translation down '7' units t

The new co-ordinate A¹ ( 3 , 7-7)→ A¹( 3, 0) and Horizontal translation left ''5' units

Now the new co-ordinates are A¹ ( 3-5 , 7-7)

Final answer:-

The new co-ordinates are A¹ ( -2 , 0)
