Question

write the coordinates of the vertices after a translation 8 units left and 8 units down.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify original coordinates

Original vertices: $P(-2, 8)$, $Q(6, 8)$, $R(0, 4)$

Step2: Apply translation rule

For a point $(x,y)$, translate 8 left ($x-8$) and 8 down ($y-8$):

• For $P$: $x=-2-8=-10$, $y=8-8=0$
• For $Q$: $x=6-8=-2$, $y=8-8=0$
• For $R$: $x=0-8=-8$, $y=4-8=-4$

Answer:

$P'(-10, 0)$, $Q'(-2, 0)$, $R'(-8, -4)$
