Question

WILL GIVE MEDAL!!!
I did the first part, but I'm confused on the second part of the question... Can someone please HELP?
Triangle LMN is located at L (2, 3), M (1, 2), and N (4, 4). The triangle is then transformed using the rule (x+5, y+2) to form the image L'M'N'. What are the new coordinates of L', M,' and N'? Describe what characteristics you would find if the corresponding vertices were connected with line segments.

Answer 1

i am sorry i would help but i cant i have a horrible math grade wish i could help more :'(

Answer 2

it's ok, thanks though! :)

Answer 3

Well...You have the 3 points..

L(2,3)
M(1,2)
N(4,4)

The translation is (x + 5, y + 2)

This means that for each point you have in the form (x , y) you would just add 5 to the x coordinate...and 2 to the y coordinate...

So for example...

L(2,3) would become L'(2 + 5 , 3 + 2) ...L'(7 , 5)

Does that make sense?

Answer 4

Yes, I did that part already :) ...
The new coordinates of L', M', and N' will change by adding (x+5, y+2) to the original values of the points.

L' (2, 3)- 2+5, 3+2= (7, 5)
M' (1, 2)- 1+5, 2+2= (6, 4)
N' (4, 4)- 4+5, 4+2= (9, 6)

But I don't know what it means by the characteristics of the corresponding vertices...

Answer 5

Alright so think about it like this...

What we HAD Triangle LMN was something like

Answer 6

Now what we HAVE L'M'N' is



That top one (for the most part, I ran out of room

Answer 7

And if we connect the corresponding vertices we will have



What looks like a triangular prism

Answer 8

ohhh, okay. So I need to describe the lines that are drawn between the two figures... you were a HUGE help! Thanks! :)

Answer 9

Right....you would basically here say that if you connect the corresponding vertices of the 2 triangles you would then get a triangular prism...

No problem :)
