Question

Please help I don’t understand this. Draw a triangle with vertices at A(0,5), B(5,5), and C(10,0). Then translate the triangle 6 units to the left and 3 units down. What are the vertices of the new triangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

How to Translate a Triangle

Step 1: Identify the coordinates of each of the vertices of the triangle.

Step 2: Translate each point by adding the horizontal translation value to the x-coordinate of each vertex and the vertical translation value to the y-coordinate of each point. For these translations, add a negative number if the horizontal translation is to the left or if the vertical translation is downward.

Step 3: Plot the three translated points and draw the triangle by connecting each pair of points with a straight line.
