Question

Translate the figure HIJKL 3 units to the left. Which of the following would be a vertex in the translated figure? (1 point) Responses (−7, 4) left parenthesis negative 7 comma 4 right parenthesis (−6, 6) left parenthesis negative 6 comma 6 right parenthesis (2, 4) left parenthesis 2 comma 4 right parenthesis (−1, −2)

Answer 1

To translate the figure HIJKL 3 units to the left, you need to subtract 3 from the x-coordinate of each vertex of the figure.

If we represent the original vertices of the figure as (x, y), the new vertices after the translation will be (x - 3, y).

Now, let's analyze the given response options to determine which one could be a vertex of the translated figure:

1. **(−7, 4)**: If the original vertex was (−4, 4), after translation, it becomes (−7, 4).
2. **(−6, 6)**: This could correspond to an original vertex (−3, 6).
3. **(2, 4)**: This could correspond to an original vertex (5, 4).
4. **(−1, −2)**: This means the original vertex was (2, −2).

Since we don't have the original vertices, we can't definitively point to one option, but we can recognize that each option suggests a potential original vertex:

- (−7, 4) can be a valid translation.

Thus, the answer is that **(−7, 4)** could be a vertex in the translated figure.
