Question

On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. Triangle 1 has points at A (negative 3, 4), B (negative 2, 1), C (negative 4, 1). Triangle 2 has points at A prime (4, negative 2), B prime (3, negative 5), C prime (5, negative 5).
Which rule represents the translation from the pre-image, ΔABC, to the image, ΔA'B'C'?

(x, y) → (x + 7, y + 6)
(x, y) → (x + 7, y – 6)
(x, y) → (x – 6, y + 7)
(x, y) → (x + 6, y + 7)

Answer 1

Compute the vector from A to A': A' − A = (4 − (−3), −2 − 4) = (7, −6).
So the translation is (x, y) → (x + 7, y − 6).
