Question

Triangle ABC is translated according to the rule (x,y) arrow (x+2,y-8) if the coordinates of the pre-image off point B are (4,-5) what are the coordinates of B’?

Answer 1

Don't overthink it.

You have been given the method of translation:


`(x,y)`⇒
`(x+2,y-8)`

All you have to do is plug in the x and y values of B, giving you
`(6,-13)` for the coordinates of B'.
