Question

A triangular wall decoration on Kelsey's wall has vertices M4-1), (3, -4), and R(1, -2). The triangle is translated 5 units left and 4 units up. What are the coordinates of M' after the translation.

options are:
m(3,0)
m(-1,3)
m(0,-3)
m(-3,-1)​

Answer 1

M’ (-1,3)

Explanation:

Here, we want to perform a translation

Mathematically, when we translate 5 units left, we are to subtract the value 5 from the x-coordinate

When we translate 4 units up, we are to add the value 4 to the y-axis coordinate

Thus, for the point M, we have;

(4-5, -1+4) = (-1,3)
