Question

Graph the image of rectangle KLMN after a translation 5 units left.

Answer 1

Translation 5 units left means subtracting 5 to each x-coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle. Thus, the coordinates of the new rectangles are as follows:

`\begin{gathered} N^(\prime)(3-5,-5)=N^(\prime)(-2,-5) \\ M^(\prime)(4-5,-5)=M^(\prime)(-1,-5) \\ K^(\prime)(3-5,-10)=K^(\prime)(-2,-10) \\ L^(\prime)(4-5,-10)=L^(\prime)(-1,-10) \end{gathered}`

Plotting the points and connecting the vertices, we have the following:
