dunno sorry :c

anonymous · Answer

:c its okay

anonymous · Answer

Before we translate triangles, let's just translate points.
can you translate the point A(-4 , 5)
err
three units up and two units to the left?

anonymous · Answer

peter try graphing it and having her graph the translating back

anonymous · Answer

I can't rely on my skill in drawing T.T

anonymous · Answer

I'm bad at graphing, but quite good in analysing :)
All you need to know is that up and right mean add while down and left mean subtract.
So to translate the point A(-4 , 5) three units UP, then add 3 to the vertical y-coordinate
--> (-4 , 8)
and now, translate that two units to the left, means take away 2 from the horizontal x-coordinate
--> (-6 , 8)
which is not A'

^.^

anonymous · Answer

so its true?

anonymous · Answer

For it to be true, A' has to be (-6 , 8), which it isn't.

anonymous · Answer

In fact, A' is a translation of three units to the right and and two units down...

anonymous · Answer

err, up, I mean.

anonymous · Answer

Yes thanks I know am sure that the answer is True

Is this a quiz?

anonymous · Answer

No its homework my teacher wants me to do so I can take the test
