Translate the figure HIJML 3 units to the left, which of the following would be a vertex in the translated figure? (A) (-7,4)

Answer 1

To translate the figure HIJML 3 units to the left, we need to subtract 3 from the x-coordinate of each vertex.

The original coordinates of the vertex H are (-4, 2), so when we subtract 3 units from the x-coordinate, we get:

x-coordinate: -4 - 3 = -7
y-coordinate: 2

So, the translated vertex is (-7, 2).

The given answer choice is (-7, 4), which has the correct x-coordinate but the wrong y-coordinate. Therefore, (-7, 4) would NOT be a vertex in the translated figure.
