Question

∆ABC is translated 4 units left and 5 units down. What algebraic representation explains the effect of the transformation of ∆ABC to ∆DEF?

Answer 1

The transformation from ABC to DEF can be represented algebraically as;

`(x,y)\rightarrow(x-4,y-5)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangle ABC is to be translated to DEF.

It is translated 4 units left and 5 units down.

We can represent this algebraically by;

translation left is negative on x-axis

translation down is negative on y axis.

Therefore, the transformation from ABC to DEF can be represented algebraically as;

`(x,y)\rightarrow(x-4,y-5)`
