Question

The triangle on the grid will be translated two units left. which shows the triangle translated 2 units left

Answer 1

Take the coordinates of each vertex (corner point) and subtract 2 from the x-coordinate; leave the y-coordinate alone.

Explanation:

Example: If one vertex is the point (5, 3), then it moves left 2 units to (3, 3).

If a vertex is at (-3, 1), then it moves 2 units left to (-5, 1).

Answer 2

A graph that shows the triangle translated 2 units left include the following: B. graph B.

In Mathematics, a translation is a type of transformation that shifts every point of a geometric object in the same direction on the cartesian coordinate, as well as for the same distance.

In this exercise, we would apply a translation of 2 units to the left to triangle ABC (ΔABC), in order to determine the coordinates of its image as follows;

(x, y) → (x - 2, y)

A (-1, -1) → (-1 - 2, -1) = A' (-3, -1).

B (-1, -5) → (-1 - 2, -5) = B' (-3, -5).

C (0.5, -5) → (0.5 - 2, -5) = C' (-1.5, -5).

In conclusion, we can logically deduce that the coordinates of the image (triangle A'B'C') are A' (-3, -1), B' (-3, -5), and C' (-1.5, -5).
