The point (-3, -2) is a vertex of a triangle. If the triangle is translated 5 units to the left, what is this point in the translated figure? Draw a graph for yourself if needed.

Answer 1

To translate a point 5 units to the left, we subtract 5 from the x-coordinate of the point.
So, the x-coordinate of the translated point would be: -3 - 5 = -8.
The y-coordinate of the point remains unchanged.
Therefore, the translated point is (-8, -2).
