Linda draws a triangle on the coordinate grid with vertices at (1,2), (3, -4), and (1,0). She translates this triangle 3 units to the left and 1 unit down. What are the coordinates of the rightmost vertex on her translated triangle?

Write in a 5th grade response in three sentences

Answer 1

Linda's triangle has vertices at (1, 2), (3, -4), and (1, 0). When she translates the triangle 3 units to the left and 1 unit down, each vertex changes. The original rightmost vertex is (3, -4), so after the translation, it becomes (3 - 3, -4 - 1), which is (0, -5).
