Question

If the translation of (x,y)->(x-5, y+2) was applied to the triangle ABC below, what would be the coordinates for A' after the translation?

Answer 1

(-3,0)

Explanation:

When translating, anything positive when talking about x would move x to the right. Negative, left, so you would move point a 3 units to the left.

When translating, anything positive when talking about y would move y up. Negative, down, so you would move point a 2 units up.
