Question

sequence the steps to translate triangle abc with vertices a(-2, 3), b(1, -1), and c(4, 2) by moving it 5 units right and 3 units down, starting with the first step at the top. (2 points)
= add 5 to each x - coordinate (move right)
= subtract 3 from each y - coordinate (move down)
= identify the original coordinates of triangle abc
= plot the new triangle points after translation

Explanation:

Step1: Identify original points

We first need to know the starting - point coordinates. So, identify the original coordinates of triangle ABC.

Step2: Move horizontally

To move 5 units right, we add 5 to each x - coordinate.

Step3: Move vertically

To move 3 units down, we subtract 3 from each y - coordinate.

Step4: Plot new points

After getting the new coordinates, we plot the new triangle points after translation.

Answer:

1. Identify the original coordinates of triangle ABC
2. Add 5 to each x - coordinate (move right)
3. Subtract 3 from each y - coordinate (move down)
4. Plot the new triangle points after translation
