Question

If the triangle on the grid below is translated by using the rule (x, y) right-arrow (x + 5, y minus 2), what will be the coordinates of B prime?

Answer 1

(0,-2) is Correct

Have a Blessed day!

Answer 2

Option (2)

Explanation:

If a point having coordinates (x, y) is translated by 'h' units right and 'k' units down,

New coordinates of the point will be,

(x, y) → [(x + h), (y - k)]

Coordinates of the vertices of the given triangle ABC are,

A(-1, 0), B(-5, 0) and C(-1, 2)

If this triangle is shifted 5 units right and 2 units down then the coordinates of point B will be,

B(-5, 0) → B'[(-5 + 5), (0 -2)]

→ B'(0, -2)

Therefore, coordinates of vertex B' will be (0, -2).

Option (2) will be the answer.
