Question

Triangle JKL is graphed below. If triangle JKL is translated 4 units down and 1 unit to the left, what will be the coordinates of L’ ? A. (-3,1) B. (-1,3) C. (1,-3) D. (3,-1)

Answer 1

J = (-2, 4) K = (3, 4) L = (2, 1)

Translated 4 units down

J = (-2, 4 - 4) K = (3, 4 - 4) L = (2, 1 - 4)

J = (-2 , 0) K = (3, 0) L = (2, -3)

Translated 1 unit to the left

J = (-2 -1, 0) K = (3 - 1, 0) L = (2 - 1, -3)

J = (-3. 0) K = (2, 0) L = (1, -3)
