The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".

600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²

The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length

y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>

The coordinates of the vertices of a triangle are A(-1, 2), B(3, 1), and C(-3, -2). The coordinates of the vertices of its image
Levart [38]

Answer:

ΔABC was translated right 4 units and down 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A' - A = (3, -2) -(-1, 2) = (3+1, -2-2) = (4, -4)

So, the transformation is (x, y) ⇒ (x +4, y -4).

Adding these values to a coordinate pair causes it to be translated to the right 4 units (x is increased by 4) and down 4 units (y is decreased by 4).
