Question

If triangle PQR is plotted, it will have the following coordinates, P(-4, 0), Q(4, 2), and R(-2, 4).

If point R is translated 4 units right and 7 units down, what are the coordinates of R'? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

R(-2,4) translated 4 right and 7 down becomes R'(-2+4, 4-7)= R'(2,-3)

translate right 4, means add 4 to the x coordinate

translate down 7, means subtract 7 from the y coordinate
