Question

A pentagon is graphed on a coordinate grid and then translated 1 unit to the right and 4 units down. If one of the vertices of the original pentagon is located at (1,7), what is the ordered pair of this vertex of the new pentagon after the translation?

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

vertice (1 , 7)

Step 02:

1 unit to the right

(x , y ) ==> ( x + 1 , y)

(1 , 7) ===> ( 1 + 1 , 7)

( 2 , 7 )

4 units down

(x , y ) ==> ( x , y - 4 )

(2 , 7) ===> ( 2 , 7 - 4)

( 2 , 3)

The answer is:

The vertice will be ( 2 , 3)
