Question

Suppose we have a triangle with vertices located at A(-3,-2), B(4,5), and C(6,-1). Where is the

image of C located if the figure is translated 8 units to the right and 5 units down?

Answer 1

The image of point C is (14,-6)

Explanation:

By translating 8 units to the right, we will add 8 to the value of the x-axis coordinate

5 units down means we are to subtract 5 units from the y-axis coordinate

so, we have the image of the pre-image point C as:

(6 + 8, -1-5) = (14,-6)
