Question
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)

Answer 1

To translate the point \((-3, -2)\) 5 units to the left, you subtract 5 from the x-coordinate.

Here’s the calculation:

\[
x' = -3 - 5 = -8
\]
\[
y' = -2 \quad \text{(the y-coordinate remains the same)}
\]

So the new coordinates after the translation will be \((-8, -2)\).

The translated vertex is \((-8, -2)\).
