Question

A triangle in the coordinate plane has coordinates of (2,3), (-4,-5), and (-2, 4). It is translated 3 units down. What are its new coordinates?

A) (5,3), (-1,-5), (1,4)
B) (2,6), (-4,-2), (-2, 7)
C) (2,0), (-4,-8), (-2, 1)
D) (-1,3), (-7,-5), (-5,4)

Answer 1

C it is crips all day wassz cracking

Answer 2

Answer: C) (2,0), (-4,-8), (-2, 1)

Explanation:

The translation rule for translating a point (x,y) by k units down :-

`(x,y)\rightarrow(x,y-h)`

Given : A triangle in the coordinate plane has coordinates of (2,3), (-4,-5), and (-2, 4). It is translated 3 units down.

Then, its new coordinates will be :

`(2,3)\rightarrow(2,3-3)=(2,0)`

`(-4,-5)\rightarrow(-4,-5-3)=(-4,-8)`

`(-2, 4)\rightarrow(-2,4-3)=(-2,1)`

Hence, the new coordinates = (2,0), (-4,-8), (-2, 1)
