Question

I need help with this please If the triangle on the grid is translated three units left and nine units down what are the coordinates of c

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

From the question

we are simply asked to get the new coordinates of point C if the triangle ABC is translated three units to the left and nine units down

To do so, we will make use of the relationship

If a coordinate is translated left or right, it affects the x-coordinate. Left is negative, Right is positive

If a coordinate is translated up or down, it affects the y-coordinates. Down is negative, Up is positive

Therefore

For point C

The initial coordinate is (-1,2)

After the triangle has been translated, we will have

`\begin{gathered} x-value=-1-3=-4 \\ y-value=2-9=-7 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, we have the new coordinate as (-4,-7)

The answer is
