Question

So i need help with this problem from my math class, I left my text book at school over winter break so i cant look it up.
Triangle XYZ is located at X (-2, 1), Y (-4, -3), and Z (0, -2). The triangle is then transformed using the rule (x-1, y+3) to form the image X'Y'Z'. What are the new coordinates of X', Y', and Z'? Describe what characteristics you would find if the corresponding vertices were connected with line segments.

Answer 1

lemme transform point X and u will try the rest
x(-2,1)
rule --> (x-1, y+3)

Answer 2

X--> (-2-1, 1+3)
X--> (-3,4) or u can plot the point in a graph and go 1 to the left (cuz x is -ve) and up 3 (cuz y is positive) make sense @camzzz12

Answer 3

Not really @Godlovesme Im sorta failing this class and i really want to improve my grade but i have no clue on what to do...

Answer 4

k the rule says x-1 , y+3 right ?

Answer 5

Yeah.

Answer 6

what would the equation to find the new points be? becasue if I knew that i bet i could answer the question

Answer 7

since the rule says x-1 and y+3
what are the points for X in XYZ

Answer 8

(-2,1)

Answer 9

our x coordinate is -2
y coordinate is 1
as the rule says x-1 y+3
our new X value will be -2 -1 and y will be 1+3 confused?

Answer 10

ok i get it so the new value for X would be -3 and Y would be 4?

Answer 11

yup great job thanks for the medal :)

Answer 12

@Godlovesme no problem! Thanks for the help! If i post my answers will you tell me if they are right?

Answer 13

X`= (-3, 4)
Y`= (-5, 0)
Z`= (-1, 1)
