A'(0, 9), B'(1, 3), and C'(7, 6)

B.
A'(0, –1), B'(1, –7), and C'(7, –4)

C.
A'(–6, –1), B'(–5, –7), and C'(1, –4)

D.
A'(–6, 9), B'(–5, 3), and C'(1, 6)

Answer 2

Since you're good at translating points, can you give me the translated points of ABC?

Answer 3

a is 0,-1 do the adding and subtracting i was talking about with the given chordinates

Answer 4

all are eliminated by the coordinates of A except for b i believe

Answer 5

can you find out why ?

Answer 6

nm i cant keep trying to help you if you dont want to help yourself with me =)

Answer 7

its under rules / regulations

Answer 8

Wait im plotting the points

Answer 9

kk

Answer 10

heya @mathmate i was right about rules / regulations right ?

@PizzaLover123
Plotting points is one good way to find the transformed point, but you can also work with the coordinates.
For example, use the translation rule:
(x,y) -> (x+3, y-5) to translate 3 units right, and 5 units down.
So
A(-3,4) -> A'(-3+3, 4-5) = A'(0,-1) as @jakashaka123 did earlier.

Answer 12

@jakashaka123
Yes, you are absolutely right in what you just did. The OP must show some efforts on his part. I think he is unfortunately not using all the tools available.

Answer 13

so its A?

Answer 20

i have 1 more question atm xD

Answer 21

@PizzaLover123
I think it would do you good to actually work out the problem and \(then\) choose the answer.

Answer 22

yes @PizzaLover123
