Question

ABC is translated left 3 units to form the image A'B'C'.What are the coordinates of the vertices of A'B'C' ?fill your answers in the boxesA' = ( _ , _ )B' = ( _ , _ )C' = ( _ , _ )

Answer 1

From the given graph,

`\begin{gathered} A=(-2,-1) \\ B=(2,-1) \\ C=(2,2) \end{gathered}`

Translated to lesft means a -2 is added to all the x coordinates.

`\begin{gathered} A^(\prime)=(-2+(-2),-1)=(-4,-1) \\ B^(\prime)=(2+(-2),-1)=(0,-1) \\ C^(\prime)=(2+(-2),2)=(0,2) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the coordinates of A', B' and C' is (-4,-1), (0,-1) and (0,2) respectively.
