To translate a figure, you need to add or subtract the same value to each x-coordinate and y-coordinate. In this case, we need to translate the triangle 4 units to the right and 2 units down.
The original triangle has vertices (4, 3), (8, 3), and (7, 5).
For the x-coordinates:
To translate 4 units to the right, we add 4 to each x-coordinate:
4 + 4 = 8
8 + 4 = 12
7 + 4 = 11
For the y-coordinates:
To translate 2 units down, we subtract 2 from each y-coordinate:
3 - 2 = 1
3 - 2 = 1
5 - 2 = 3
So, the vertices of the translated figure are (8, 1), (12, 1), and (11, 3).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
• (8, 1), (12, 1), and (11, 3)
If a triangle with vertices (4, 3). (8, 3), and (7, 5) is translated to the right 4 units and down 2 units, what are the vertices of the translated figure? (1 point)
• (8, 1). (12, 1), and (11, 3)
• (8, 5), (12, 5), and (11, 7)
• (8, 3), (12, 3), and (11, 5)
• (0, 1), (4, 1), and (3, 3)
