Question

4. Describe the translation of triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'.y5B4AONW11 2 3 4 5 X-1-1-2-3-4-5PRE

Answer 1

The figure shown on the coordinate grid has the coordinates as shown;

$\begin{gathered} A=(2,4) \\ B=(4,5) \\ C=(2,0) \end{gathered}$

Observe that the point A now moves 6 units towards the left, and then 5 units downwards.

This means;

$A=(x,y)\rightarrow A^{\prime}=(x-6,y-5)$

Observe that the same rule applies to points B and C as well.

ANSWER:

The triangle was shifted 6 units to the left and 5 units down

The second option is the correct answer
