Question

Triangle EFG has vertices E(–3, 4), F(–5, –1), and G(1, 1). The triangle is translated so that the coordinates of the image are E’(–1, 0), F’(–3, –5), and G’(3, –3).

Which rule was used to translate the image?

T4, –4(x, y)
T–4, –4(x, y)
T2, –4(x, y)
T–2, –4(x, y)

Answer 1

Translation adds 2 to x and subtracts 4 from y: (x,y) → (x+2, y−4). So the rule is T2, –4(x, y).
