Question

Draw the preimage and image of the triangle under a translation along (-2,8)Triangle with coordinates: P(2,-8),Q(3,-5),R(5,-8).

Answer 1

Step 1

Draw the preimage using the coordinates given

$P(2,-8),\text{ Q(3,-5), R(5,-8)}$

Step 2

Draw the image

To this in the form of (x,y), we will add ( -2,8) to all points.

Therefore, we will have;

$\begin{gathered} P^{\prime}=\text{ ( 2-2, 8-8) = (0,0)} \\ Q^{\prime}\text{ = (3-2, -5+8) = (1,3)} \\ R^{\prime}=(5-2,\text{ -8+8) = (3,0)} \end{gathered}$
