Question

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(−3, 3), B(0, 7), and C(−3, 0). Determine the coordinates of the vertices for the image if the preimage is translated 3 units up.

A′(−3, 0), B′(0, 4), C′(−3, −3)
A′(−3, 6), B′(0, 10), C′(−3, 3)
A′(−6, 3), B′(−3, 7), C′(0, 0)
A′(0, 3), B′(3, 5), C′(0, 0)

Answer 1

To translate triangle ABC 3 units up, we need to add 3 to the y-coordinate of each vertex:

A = (-3, 3 + 3) = (-3, 6)

B = (0, 7 + 3) = (0, 10)

C = (-3, 0 + 3) = (-3, 3)

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertices for the image triangle A'B'C' are A(-3, 6), B'(0, 10), and C(-3, 3).

So the correct answer is: A(−3, 6), B(0, 10), C(−3, 3).
