Question

Translate the triangle (1,-4) (4,-3) (4,-8) 3 units left and 3 units up. What are the new vertices?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(-2, -1), (1, 0), (1, -5)

Explanation:

Translation 3 units left subtracts 3 from each x-coordinate.

Translation 3 units up adds 3 to each y-coordinate.

(x, y) ⇒ (x -3, y +3)

(1, -4) ⇒ (1 -3), -4 +3) = (-2, -1)

(4, -3) ⇒ (4 -3, -3 +3) = (1, 0)

(4, -8) ⇒ (4 -3, -8 +3) = (1, -5)
