Question

The vertices of a triangle are A(0, 5), B(−2, −4), and C(0, 3). Find the new vertices. Use the rule (x, y) → (x − 2, y + 5) to translate each vertex. Enter each vertex as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

A' would be (-2, 10); B' would be (-4, 1); and C' would be (-2, 8).

For each one, following the rule, we subtract 2 from the x-coordinate and add 5 to the y-coordinate.
