Translate triangle abc by 3 unit to the left and 5 unit down

1 answer

To translate triangle ABC by 3 units to the left and 5 units down, you will adjust the coordinates of each vertex of the triangle.

Assuming the original coordinates of the triangle's vertices are:

  • \( A(x_1, y_1) \)
  • \( B(x_2, y_2) \)
  • \( C(x_3, y_3) \)

The translation can be performed using the following transformations:

  • Move 3 units to the left: decrease the x-coordinate by 3.
  • Move 5 units down: decrease the y-coordinate by 5.

The new coordinates after translation will be:

  • \( A'(x_1 - 3, y_1 - 5) \)
  • \( B'(x_2 - 3, y_2 - 5) \)
  • \( C'(x_3 - 3, y_3 - 5) \)

So, if you provide the original coordinates of the triangle ABC, I can calculate the new coordinates after the translation.
