Question

If a triangle with vertices (4, 3), (8, 3), and (7, 5) is translated to the right 4 units and down 2 units, what are the vertices of the translated figure? (1 point)
• (8, 3). (12, 3), and (11, 5)
• (8; 5). (12, 5), and (11, 7)
• (0, 1). (4, 1), and (3, 3)
• (8, 1). (12, 1), and (11. 3)

Answer 1

To translate a point to the right 4 units, you add 4 to the x-coordinate. To translate a point down 2 units, you subtract 2 from the y-coordinate.

Applying this to each vertex of the triangle:
(4, 3) → (4 + 4, 3 - 2) → (8, 1)
(8, 3) → (8 + 4, 3 - 2) → (12, 1)
(7, 5) → (7 + 4, 5 - 2) → (11, 3)

Therefore, the vertices of the translated figure are (8, 1), (12, 1), and (11, 3).
