What is the x-coordinate of point A in a triangle with vertexes in A (3, 5), B (6, -3) and C (-2, -2) after undergoing a translation of 5 units to the right and 2 units down?

Question

What is the x-coordinate of point A in a triangle with vertexes in A (3, 5), B (6, -3) and C (-2, -2) after undergoing a translation of 5 units to the right and 2 units down?

Answer 1

When undergoing the following transformation, each ordered pair (point) is shifted 5 units to the right (+5) and 2 units down (-2).

Here are the new coordinates after the transformation is applied:

A (3,5)--> A (8, 3)

B (6, -3)--> (11, -5)

C (-2, -2)--> (3, -4)

As shown, the new x-coordinate at point A is x = 8.
