If the given triangle ABC

Question

A
B
C
is translated 8 units down, what are the coordinates of point B′
B
′
?

Answer 1

To determine the new coordinates of point B after translating the triangle 8 units down, we need to start with the original coordinates of point B.

Let's assume the original coordinates of point B are (x, y).

When we translate a point down, we subtract the translation distance from the y-coordinate. Thus, the new coordinates of point B′ (B prime) after translating it 8 units down will be:

$$B^{\prime }=(x,y-8)$$

If you provide the specific coordinates of point B, I can give you the exact new coordinates for B′.
