Question

Given that triangle ABC with the coordinates: A(-2,4), B(6,2) C(3,-2) translated to triangle A' B' C' where A'(3,-2)

a. Use the coordinate notation to describe the translation

b. Determine the coordinates of B' and C'

Answer 1

Well, it looks like everything went right 5 and down 6. Apply that to the other points.

Answer 2

assuming its a linear translation; and not some fancy rotation of the triangle itself

Answer 3

end - start gives us distance and direction; we know the end and start of "A"

A' = (3,-2)
-A = -(-2,4)
------------
5,-6

add this translation to the other points to find their positions B' and C'
