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?

1 answer

To translate a point 5 units to the left, we subtract 5 from the x-coordinate of the point.

So, (-3, -2) translated 5 units to the left is:

(-3 - 5, -2)

= (-8, -2)
