Question

DEFG has coordinates D(2, 5), E(3, 1), F(4, 6), and G(6, 6). If the polygon is translated 2 units to the left, what are the coordinates of G'?

Answer 1

`G' = (4,6)`

Explanation:

Given

`D = (2, 5)`

`E = (3, 1)`

`F = (4, 6)`

`G = (6, 6)`

Translation: 2 units left

Required

Determine the coordinates of G'

When a point (x,y) is translated by b units to the left, the new coordinates is (x-b,y)

So, if

`G = (6, 6)`

G' would be:

`G' = (6-b,6)`

In this case:

`b = 2`

So, we have:

`G' = (6-2,6)`

`G' = (4,6)`
