The point (−3, −2) is a vertex of a triangle. If the triangle is translated 5 units to the left, what is this point in the translated figure? Draw a graph for yourself if needed.(1 point)

1 answer

The point (-3, -2) is translated 5 units to the left, so its x-coordinate would decrease by 5 units. Therefore, the new x-coordinate would be -3 - 5 = -8.

The y-coordinate remains unchanged in a horizontal translation, so the y-coordinate in the translated figure would still be -2.

Therefore, the point in the translated figure is (-8, -2).
