Question

What are the vertices of (AABC). when it is translated by (x+6, y-2), graph thetransformation?BI.A'B'C'

Answer 1

A translation is defined as:

`(x,y)\rightarrow(x+a,y+b)`

To do the translation we have to know the original vertexes coordinates. We have A(-6,2) B(-2,4) and C(-4,-4). Using the translation given we have:

`\begin{gathered} A(-6,2)\rightarrow A^(\prime)(0,0) \\ B(-2,4)\rightarrow B^(\prime)(4,2) \\ C(-4,-4)\rightarrow C^(\prime)(2,-6) \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} A^(\prime)(0,0) \\ B^(\prime)(4,2) \\ C^(\prime)(2,-6) \end{gathered}`

The graph is:
