Translate the figure HIJKL 3 units to the left. Which of the following would be a vertex in translated figure

Answer 1

To translate a figure 3 units to the left, we need to subtract 3 from the x-coordinates.

So if the original coordinates of the figure HIJKL were:

H(x₁, y₁)
I(x₂, y₂)
J(x₃, y₃)
K(x₄, y₄)
L(x₅, y₅)

The new coordinates of the translated figure would be:

H(x₁ - 3, y₁)
I(x₂ - 3, y₂)
J(x₃ - 3, y₃)
K(x₄ - 3, y₄)
L(x₅ - 3, y₅)

From this, we can see that all the x-coordinates of the translated figure will be 3 units less than the x-coordinates of the original figure. Therefore, the vertex in the translated figure would be the one whose x-coordinate is 3 units less than the original figure.

Answer: I(x₂ - 3, y₂)
