Just create a new triangle with coordinates that represent a move by one unit in some direction...
That's what's confusing me , I don't understand how to do that.
hmm... do you have a graph for it?
No, they give me the description above and I have to show work or all my steps to getting my final answer and explain . These are the requirements: Provide the coordinates of the vertices A, B, and C of triangle ABC that is congruent to PQR and explain why the two triangles are congruent.
here. gimme a sec. i will show you
@ganeshie8 please help
P(1, 5), Q(1, 3), and R(3, 2).
lets do as @TheOcean suggested
translate the triangle to right by "1" unit : (x, y) --> (x+1, y)
just add "1" to all ur x-coordinates. what do u get ?
P(1, 5), Q(1, 3), and R(3, 2). changes to : P(1\(\color{red}{+1}\), 5), Q(1\(\color{red}{+1}\), 3), and R(3\(\color{red}{+1}\), 2).
simplify : P(2, 5), Q(2, 3), and R(4, 2). are the coordinates of NEW-translated triangle which is congruent to the original given triangle
see if that makes sense so far.. .
WEll I definetely got that wrong .
