Question

Henry plots triangle UVW on a coordinate grid. The coordinates of U are (4, 3). After the triangle is translated 3 units to the left, what are the new coordinates of U ?

(7, 3)


(1, 3)


(4, 6)


(4, 0)

Answer 1

A translation to the left is given by the following rule:
(x, y) -----> (x-3, y)
Applying the rule for point U we have:
(4, 3) -----> (4-3, 3) ----> (1, 3)
Answer:
the new coordinates of U are:
(1, 3)
