Question

Translate Δ A B C 6 units horizontally. How are the values in the ordered pairs affected by the translation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The x-coordinates are translated 6 units to the left or right while the y-coordinates are not affected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has vertices at A(-4,1), B(-2,1) and C(-2,4)

The transformation rule for a horizontal translation by k units is

$(x,y)\to (x\pm k,y)$

In this case we have k=6

$A(-4,1)\to A'(-4\pm6,1)$

$B(-2,1)\to B'(-2\pm6,1)$

$C(-2,4)\to C'(-2\pm6,4)$

Therefore the x-coordinates are translated 6 units to the left or right while the y-coordinates are not affected.
