Question

the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle are j (-2,2), k (-2,-1), and l (2,-1). triangle jkl is translated 4 units to the right and 4 units down to create triangle jkl as shown in the diagram below. what are the coordinates of the vertices of triangle jkl? j = k =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation rule

For a translation 4 units right and 4 units down, we add 4 to the x - coordinate and subtract 4 from the y - coordinate.

Step2: Find coordinates of J'

Given J(-2, 2). New x - coordinate: $-2 + 4=2$, new y - coordinate: $2-4=-2$. So J'=(2, - 2).

Step3: Find coordinates of K'

Given K(-2, -1). New x - coordinate: $-2 + 4 = 2$, new y - coordinate: $-1-4=-5$. So K'=(2, - 5).

Step4: Find coordinates of L'

Given L(2, -1). New x - coordinate: $2 + 4=6$, new y - coordinate: $-1-4=-5$. So L'=(6, - 5).

Answer:

J'=(2, - 2), K'=(2, - 5), L'=(6, - 5)
