Question

Triangle MNP with verticals M(2,4), N(4,1), and P(5,3) is translated to create triangle M'N'P' by using a rule described as: (x,y) to (x-5, y-7). Draw the original triangle MNP using blue color and its image M'N'P' using red color. Find coordinates of the following vertices:

Coordinates of vertex M

Answer 1

The original coordinates of vertex M are (2, 4) and after applying the translation rule, the new coordinates for M' become (-3, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of vertex M after applying the translation rule (x, y) to (x-5, y-7) to triangle MNP become:

To find the new coordinates of vertex M', use the given rule:

• M(2,4) translates to M'(2-5, 4-7) = M'(-3, -3).

The original coordinates of vertex M are (2, 4).
