Question

A triangle with a Vertex -3, 5 is translated up six units

Answer 1

To translate a point in a coordinate system, you simply modify its position based on the specified movement. In this case, you are translating the vertex of a triangle.

The vertex is given at the coordinates \((-3, 5)\). When you translate this point upward by 6 units, you need to add 6 to the y-coordinate.

Here’s how you do the calculation:

- Original vertex: \((-3, 5)\)
- Translate up 6 units: \(y\) coordinate becomes \(5 + 6 = 11\)

So, after translating the vertex up by 6 units, the new coordinates of the vertex will be:

\[
\text{New vertex coordinates} = (-3, 11)
\]

Therefore, the vertex of the triangle after the translation will be at \((-3, 11)\).
