Question

To find the coordinates of point B after translating square ABDC, we start with its original coordinates B (-1, 4). After translating 2 units to the left and 4 units down, the new coordinates of B' become (-1 - 2, 4 - 4), which simplifies to B' (-3, 0).

Answer 1

To find where point B moves after we translate square ABDC, we first look at the starting point B, which has the coordinates (-1, 4). When we translate, we're moving point B.

We move it 2 units to the left. This means we subtract 2 from the x-coordinate (-1). So, -1 - 2 = -3.

Next, we move 4 units down. This means we subtract 4 from the y-coordinate (4). So, 4 - 4 = 0.

Now, we put the new coordinates together. After translating, point B' is located at (-3, 0). So, the new coordinates for point B' are (-3, 0).
