Question

The vertices of triangle FGH are F(4, 1), G(0, 3), and H(2, -1). After a translation of 6 units left and 2 units down, triangle FGH becomes triangle F'G'H'. After a translation of 1 unit right and 5 units up, triangle F'G'H' becomes triangle F"G"H". What translation would move triangle FGH to triangle F"G"H" directly? a. 6 units left and 2 units down c. 5 units left and 3 units up b. 1 unit left and 5 units up d. 2 units right and 6 units down Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

c. 5 units left and 3 units up

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation is translation, rotation, reflection and rotation.

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units right and b units up, the new location is at A'(x+a, y+b), while if a point A(x, y) is translated a units left and b units down, the new location is at A'(x-a, y-b)

The vertices of triangle FGH are F(4, 1), G(0, 3), and H(2, -1). A translation of 6 units left and 2 units down, triangle FGH becomes triangle F'(-2, -1) G'(-6, 1) H'(-4, -3). A translation of 1 unit right and 5 units up, triangle F'G'H' becomes triangle F"(-1, 4) G"(-5, 6) H"(-3, 2)

The translation of FGH to F"G"H" is a translation of (x -5, y + 3), that is 5 units left and 3 units up
