Question

What happens when triangle ABC is translated t units parallel to the x-axis?

The points of ABC are given as (x-t, y-t).
The points of ABC are given as (x +t, y+t).
The points of ABC are given as (x, y+t).
The points of ABC are given as (x +t, y)

Answer 1

Only the x value will change, so which solution only affects the x value?

Answer 2

Can I eliminate A and D?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Notice that, when you slide horizontally, there is no change in \(y\).
So the translation rule would look something like below :

\(\large (x, y) \to (x-t, ~y)\)

Answer 5

Although, what is the t for?

Answer 6

thats a good question :)
suppose you're in your house.

Answer 7

and you start walking in East direction for \(\large t \) km
