What effect will a translation 3 units down and 2 units left have on the polygon? Be sure to address how it could impact the angles, side lengths, and congruency between the original pre-image and the image.

Answer 1

no one? :'(

Answer 2

Hmm well you would be changing it's coordinates by translating it...what do you specifically need to know?

Answer 3

I just don't understand how to translate it. and I don't understand how I would write the answer.

Answer 8

The video didn't help?? :(

Answer 9
