Translate the figure VWXYZ

Question

3 units to the left. Which of the following would be a vertex in the translated figure? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

To translate the figure VWXYZ 3 units to the left, you need to subtract 3 from the x-coordinate of each vertex.

Assuming you have the original coordinates of the vertices of figure VWXYZ, you can translate each vertex as follows:

• If a vertex \( V \) has coordinates \( (x_V, y_V) \), after translation it will have new coordinates \( (x_V - 3, y_V) \).
• Apply this same transformation for vertices \( W \), \( X \), \( Y \), and \( Z \).

If you provide the original coordinates of the vertices VWXYZ, I can help determine which of the translated vertices corresponds to the new positions after the translation.
