Question

Draw a triangle with vertices at A(0,5), B(5,5) and C(10,0). Then translate the triangle 6 units to the left and 3 units down. What are the vertices of the new triangle?

Answer 1

A' = (-6.2)

B' = (-1,2)

C' = (4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to draw a triangle with the given vertices and perform the stated translation

We have the triangle sketched as follows:

To get the vertices of the new triangle, we perform the stated operation

6 units to the left mean we subtract 6 from the x-axis value.

3 units down means we subtract 3 from the y-axis values

A

A' will be (0-6,5-3) = (-6.2)

B

B' will be (5-6,5-3) = (-1,2)

C

C' will be (10-6,0-3) = (4,-3)
