Question

Translate triangle ABC left 2 and down 4. A(-3,1) b(5,1) c( 2,3)

Answer 1

To translate triangle ABC left 2 and down 4, you need to subtract 2 from the x-coordinates and subtract 4 from the y-coordinates of each vertex.

Starting with the vertices:
- A(-3, 1)
- B(5, 1)
- C(2, 3)

Now, apply the translation:
- For point A:
\[
A'(-3 - 2, 1 - 4) = A'(-5, -3)
\]
- For point B:
\[
B'(5 - 2, 1 - 4) = B'(3, -3)
\]
- For point C:
\[
C'(2 - 2, 3 - 4) = C'(0, -1)
\]

So, after translating triangle ABC left 2 and down 4, the new vertices are:
- A'(-5, -3)
- B'(3, -3)
- C'(0, -1)
