Question

A polygon is shown on the graph: A polygon is shown on a coordinate plane. The vertices are A at negative 6 comma 5, B at negative 6 comma 2, C at negative 2 comma 2, and D at negative 2 comma 6. If the polygon is translated 4 units down and 5 units right, what will the coordinates of the new image be? Use prime notation in expressing the new coordinates. (5 points)

Answer 1

Translating 4 units down and 5 units right means that you add 5 to the x coordinate, and subtract 4 from the y coordinate.

So, for example, we have

$A' = (-6+5, 5-4)=(-1,1)$

and so on for the other points.
