Question

. Which is a true statement about the transformation?

Answer 1

Answer: The orientation of the vertices was changed.

(x, y) ---> (x + 8, y - 3)

Step-by-step explanation: The triangle translation isn't on quadrant II, it's on quadrant I, so that answer choice isn't correct.  The triangle ABC translated 8 units right and 3 units down, not 8 units left and 3 units up.  Whenever you dilate, translate, rotate, or reflect triangles like ABC, the next triangle becomes A'B'C because it shows you that it's a transformation of the original triangle.  The orientation of the figure didn't change, because it didn't change shape, rotation, or size, so the orientation wasn't affected at all, just the vertices.  

The transformation is (x, y) ---> (x + 8, y - 3), because think of it like this.  I already said that the triangle translated 8 units to the right, which means that the triangle is translating 8 units in the positive direction to the right.  The triangle going 3 units down is in the negative direction, and that's why it's (x, y) ---> (x + 8, y -3).

Let me know if this is right! :)
