Translations and reflections 1
The coordinate grid shows triangle \(ABC\). Translate the triangle by the vector \(\langle 3,-2\rangle\), which moves every point \(3\) units right and \(2\) units down.
Give the coordinates of \(A'\), \(B'\), and \(C'\).
Hints
- Read the coordinates of each original vertex carefully from the grid.
- A translation changes every point by the same horizontal and vertical amounts.
- Keep each image label matched with its original vertex.
Solution
1. Read the vertices from the graph: \(A=(-4,3)\), \(B=(-1,3)\), and \(C=(-2,1)\).
2. A translation by \(\langle 3,-2\rangle\) sends \((x,y)\) to \((x+3,y-2)\).
3. Therefore, \(A'=(-1,1)\), \(B'=(2,1)\), and \(C'=(1,-1)\).
Answer
\(A'=(-1,1)\), \(B'=(2,1)\), \(C'=(1,-1)\)
