Question

Look at the image and show work 4) translation: 6 units left K, J, I, L​

Answer 1

Answer:

K (-5, 2); J (-2, 3); I (-1, 1); L (-5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Translating the shape 6 units to the left means that every point/vertex will be moved 6 units to the left of where it is originally drawn.

Point K is at (1, 2). Since we are only moving it left (on the x-axis), the y value will not change. To move K left 6, we have to subtract 6 from its current x-value, 1. We get -5 for the new x-value. Because the y value didn't change, the new location of K is (-5, 2).

Point J is at (4, 3). Subtracting 6 from 4 (the x value) gives us the new x value of -2. Again, the y value does not change and so our new location for J is (-2, 3).

Point I is at (5, 1). If we subtract 6 from 5, we get -1. This is our new x value for I. The new point is (-1, 1). (Once again, the y value does not change).

Point L is at (1, -3). By subtracting 6 from the original x value, 1, we get our new x value: -5. The new point for L is (-5, -3).
