A'=(1,-1) B'=(5,-5) C'(7,-1)

1 answer

To determine the values of \( h \) and \( k \) in the functions \( f(x) = x + h \) and \( g(y) = y + k \) for the translation from triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C', we need to analyze the coordinates of points A, B, and C compared to A', B', and C'.

The coordinates of triangle ABC are:

  • A = (-7, 4)
  • B = (-3, 0)
  • C = (-1, 4)

The coordinates of triangle A'B'C' are:

  • A' = (1, -1)
  • B' = (5, -5)
  • C' = (7, -1)

Finding \( h \)

To find \( h \), we can compare the \( x \)-coordinates of points A and A': \[ 1 = -7 + h \ h = 1 + 7 \ h = 8 \]

Finding \( k \)

Now for \( k \), we can compare the \( y \)-coordinates of points A and A': \[ -1 = 4 + k \ k = -1 - 4 \ k = -5 \]

Thus, the values are:

  • \( h = 8 \)
  • \( k = -5 \)

So the answer is: h = 8 and k = −5
