Question

quadrilateral ABCD is translated 3 units right and 8 units down. point b is located at (1, 9) what are the coordinates of b'?

Answer 1

To find the new coordinates of point B after the translation of 3 units to the right and 8 units down, we follow these steps:

1. **Translate 3 units right**: This means we add 3 to the x-coordinate of point B.
- Original x-coordinate of B = 1
- New x-coordinate = 1 + 3 = 4

2. **Translate 8 units down**: This means we subtract 8 from the y-coordinate of point B.
- Original y-coordinate of B = 9
- New y-coordinate = 9 - 8 = 1

Thus, after the translation, the coordinates of point B' are (4, 1).
