Question

Translate abc with coordinates a(3,4) b(7,7) c( 8,1) 6 units left 7 units down

Answer 1

Answers:

A ' = (-3, -3)

B ' = (1, 0)

C ' = (2, -6)

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate 6 units to the left, we subtract 6 from each x coordinate.

For point A, we have x = 3 become 3-6 = -3 as the new x coordinate.

Point A also goes down 7 units, in which we subtract 7 from the y coordinate. So the y coordinate of point A, which is 4, becomes 4-7 = -3 as the new y coordinate.

This is how we can write out the work shown for moving point A

`(\text{x},\text{y})\to(\text{x}-6,\text{y}-7)\\\\(3,4)\to(3-6,4-7)\\\\(3,4)\to(-3,-3)`

Point A is at (3,4) and moves to A ' which is at (-3, -3)

Do similar steps for points B and C to get the answers shown above.
