I am a bit confused can someone give me a hint or help please? What are the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle under the translation (x, y) > (x - 1, y - 3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sup I will help

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

Okay thanks!

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

I don't know what points on the shape would be x and y and i'm not sure where they want me to translation it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually I am so sorry I don't know how to explain this but I nkknow how to do it lol here, @math1234

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

My answer choices: (5, -4), (0, 0), (5, 4) (-4, 5), (0, 0), (4, 5) (-8, 0), (-1, -1), (-4, -5) (0, -8), (-1, -1), (-5, -4)

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

ah ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so they want the edges of the triangle, translate them all x-1 and y-3

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

okay so what does translate mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So (0,2) --> (0-1,2-3)--> (-1, -1) for the first point does that make sense?

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

it be -1 -1? i see 1 -1 even though thats not on my choices. i must be doing it wrong then :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on i will ]show you the answer

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

Ohh okay i get it u moved it downwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be the third one i Believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it/? can i have a medal?

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

I am getting the wrong answer for the point 3, -7 where would i move those points i know i have to move x-1 and y-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3-1,-7-3 = 2,-10 But you are not supposed to be working with 3,-7, you are working with the three points that define the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this flvs

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

I think I got it now. I think the answer is D (0, -8), (-1, -1), (-5, -4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO it is C

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

am i right or i think its c

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

oh okay thats what i thought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your x and y values are switched for the third pair of coordinates.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hope you git it, can i git a medal.

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

okay i was confused if it was 0, -8 or 8, -0

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

yes but can i get one too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

thanks!
