Question

The coordinates A(-6,-3), B(-5,2), C(-2,-2) of a triangle's vertices are changed to A'(2,-3), B’ (3,2), C' (6,-2).

What transformation was performed?
A)Translation
B)Reflection across the y-axis
C) Dilation
D) Reflection across the x-axis
E)Rotation by 90°

Answer 1

The given coordinates of the triangle's vertices have changed. The transformation that was performed is a Translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of the triangle's vertices have changed to new coordinates A' (2,-3), B' (3,2), C' (6,-2). In order to determine the transformation, we need to compare the original and new coordinates. Looking at the x-coordinates, we can see that they have all increased by the same value of 8. Looking at the y-coordinates, we can see that they have all remained the same. Therefore, the transformation that has been performed is a Translation.
