Question

Triangle RST has vertices R(–1, 1), S(3, 1), and T(3, –4). What

are the coordinates of the image of RST after a translation 4 units to the left and 2 units down?

Answer 1

R'(-5, -1) S'(-1, -1) T'(-1,-6)

Explanation:

because the triangle is moving to the left, you subtract the number of units from the x coordinates of each vertex of the triangle. becasue the triangle is moving down, you subtract the number of units moved down from the y coordinates of each vertex.
