Question

next, find the y - coordinate of point a; remember, this coordinate tells you how far up or down. translate triangle abc 4 units right and 3 units down. original point translated point a (-5,8) a (-1, ) b (-7,4) b c (-2,4) c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation rule

Translation down by 3 units means subtract 3 from the y - coordinate of each point.

Step2: Find new y - coordinate of point A

The original y - coordinate of point A is 8. New y - coordinate is $8 - 3=5$.

Step3: Find new coordinates of point B

For point B with original coordinates (-7, 4), new x - coordinate remains the same and new y - coordinate is $4 - 3 = 1$. So B' is (-7, 1).

Step4: Find new coordinates of point C

For point C with original coordinates (-2, 4), new x - coordinate remains the same and new y - coordinate is $4 - 3=1$. So C' is (-2, 1).

Answer:

For A': (-1, 5)
For B': (-7, 1)
For C': (-2, 1)
