Question

A triangle has the coordinates of A (1,2), B (4,6), and C (4,-3). If the triangle is translated 2 units right, what are the new coordinates

Answer 1

A'(3, 2 ), B'(6, 6 ),C'(6, - 3 )

A translation of 2 units right is equivalent to adding 2 to the x- coordinate with no change to the y- coordinate.

A(1, 2 ) → A'(1 + 2, 2 ) → A'(3, 2 )

B(4, 6 ) → B'( 4 + 2, 6 ) → B'(6, 6 )

C(4, - 3 ) → B'(4 + 2, - 3 ) → B'(6, - 3 )
