Question

A triangle has vertices atA(-7,6) B(4,9) C(-2,-3)What are the coordinates of each vertex if the triangle is

translated 4 units right and 6 units down
(Don’t mind the circle on C)

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

A translation 4 units right means add 4 to the original x- coordinate.

A translation 6 units down means subtract 6 from the original y- coordinate.

The translation rule is (x, y ) → (x + 4, y - 6), thus

A(- 7, 6 ) → A'(- 7 + 4, 6 - 6 ) → A'(- 3, 0 )

B(4, 9 ) → B'(4 + 4, 9 - 6 ) → B'(8, 3 )

C(- 2, - 3 ) → C'(- 2 + 4, - 3 - 6 ) → C'(2, - 9 )
