Question

Given triangle XYZ has vertices X(-1,5), Y(-2,2) and Z(4,1), translate triangle XYZ 3 units right and 4 units down to form triangle X’Y’Z’. What are the new vertices of the translated triangle X’Y’Z’?

Answer 1

For this one, all you need to do is add/subtract the stated deltas to the given points.

"3 units right' means add 3 to the x values

"4 units down" means subtract 4 from the y values.

So--for example--the new coordinates for vertex X are: x: -1 + 4, and y: 5 - 4
