Question

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-3,4)B(4,-2)C(8,3).The triangle is translated 4 units down and 3 units left . Which rule represents the translation? After the translation, what are the coordinates of vertex C

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

A translation of 4 units down means subtract 4 from the y- coordinate of the original point and a translation of 3 units left means subtract 3 from the original x- coordinate, thus translation rule is

(x, y ) → (x - 3, y - 4 )

Thus

C(8, 3 ) → C'(8 - 3, 3 - 4 ) → C'(5, - 1 )
