Question

Triangle ABC has vertices A(-2, 3), B(-4, 7), C(6,8). Find the coordinates of the points after atranslation left 7 units and down 6 units.A'(B'(C'(Blank 1:Blank 2:Blank 3:Blank 4:Blank 5:Blank 6:

Answer 1

Let's graph the original triangle first.

Since we're given the translation 7 units to the left, and 6 units down, we are going to subtract 7 units to the x coordinates and 6 units to the y-coordinates.

A = (-2,3)

A' = (-2 - 7, 3 - 6) = (-9, -3)

B = (-4, 7)

B' = (-4 - 7, 7 - 6) = (-11, 1)

C = (6, 8)

C' = (6 - 7, 8 - 6) = (-1, 2)

The graph of the two triangles is this:
