Question

Translate triangle, ABC two units left and three units up. What are the coordinates for A

Answer 1

The coordinates for A depend on the original coordinates of A. If we know the original coordinates of A, we can subtract 2 from the x-coordinate and add 3 to the y-coordinate to find the new coordinates of A.

For example, if the original coordinates of A were (5, 7), then the new coordinates of A would be:

A' = (5 - 2, 7 + 3) = (3, 10)

So the translated triangle would have coordinates A' (3, 10), B, and C.
