Question

Determine the coordinates of the image if triangle abc is translated 8 units to the right. a?(?14, 1), b?(?8, 1), c?(?12, 5) a?(?6, 9), b?(0, 9), c?(?4, 13) a?(0, 1), b?(8, 1), c?(4, 5) a?(2, ?7), b?(8, ?7), c?(4, ?3)

Answer 1

If triangle ABC is translated 8 units to the right, each vertex will have its x-coordinate increased by 8.

Therefore, the new coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC will be:

a = (-14+8, 1) = (-6, 1)

b = (-8+8, 1) = (0, 1)

c = (-12+8, 5) = (-4, 5)

So the image of triangle ABC after translating 8 units to the right is triangle A'B'C' with vertices A'(-6, 1), B'(0, 1), and C'(-4, 5).
