Question

What will the coordinates of Triangle RST be after it is translated 4units down and 3 units left

Answer 1

Triangle RST has vertices:

R(-4,2)

S(3,5)

T(-4,-4)

Then, the triangle is moving to the left you subtract the number of units from the x coordinates of each vertex of the triangle.

And the triangle is moving down, you subtract the number of units moved down from the y coordinates of each vertex. So:

For R'

$(-4-3,2-4)=(-7,-2)$

For S'

$(3-3,5-4)=(0,1)$

For T'

$(-4-3,-4-4)=(-7,-8)$

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} R^{\prime}(-7,-2) \\ S^{\prime}(0,1) \\ T^{\prime}(-7,-8) \end{gathered}$
