Triangle translation question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You want to translate the given shape using below rule : (x, y) ---> (x + 3, y + 2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means from the original position, you translate the shape `3 units RIGHT` and `2 units UP` yes ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

pick a vertex of the triangle and translate it `3 units RIGHT`

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets pick the right most vertex ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

apply the rule

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x, y) ---> (x + 3, y + 2) (-1, 1) ---> ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

very close, try again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x, y) ---> (x + 3, y + 2) (-1, 1) ---> (-1+3, 1+2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes what do u get

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that simplifies to (2, 3) right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the options and see which one has this vertex

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yep!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you may try applying the rule to other vertices also if u want :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but since only one option has (2, 3), it is clear that option has to be the answer
