Question

If a triangle ABC is at: A = ( 3, 6 ) B = ( 1, 7 ) C = ( - 2, - 4 ) and if it is translated right 6 and down 3, find the new point B'.

Answer 1

Solution: B': (7,4)

As we have a triangle, we move each point according to the statement of exercise. We have B = (1,7). As we have to move right 6, that would be increasing X value. So, we have:

X initial: 1. We move right 6, X final= 1+6; X final=7

We down 3, so that would be decreasing Y value.

Y initial= 7. We move down 3, Y final=7-3; Y final=4

According to that, the new point B' would be= (7,4)
