Question

Triangle XYZ has coordinates X(2, 4), Y(−3, 4), and Z(−3, 1). If the triangle is translated using the rule (x, y) → (x − 2, y + 1), what are the coordinates of Y'?

Y'(–5, 5)
Y'(0, 5)
Y'(–5, 2)
Y'(–1, 3)

Answer 1

Y'(-5, 5)

Explanation:

To find the coordinates of Y' after the translation, we apply the given rule to the coordinates of point Y(-3, 4).

Using the translation rule (x, y) → (x - 2, y + 1), we can substitute the coordinates of Y(-3, 4) into the rule:

x' = x - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5

y' = y + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

Therefore, the coordinates of Y' are (-5, 5).
