Question

Triangle ABC has coordinates A(-2, -3), B(1, 1), and C(2, -1). If the triangle is translated 3 units to the right, what are the coordinates of A'?

( , )

Answer 1

A'(1, - 3 )

Explanation:

A translation of 3 units to the right is equivalent to adding 3 to the x- coordinate of the point. The y- coordinate remains unchanged, that is

A(- 2, - 3 ) → A'(- 2 + 3, - 3 ) → A'(1, - 3 )
