Triangle ABC is translated on the coordinate plane below to create triangle A'B'C': Please help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (misty1212):

first we need the translation of the triangle right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so...I'm not 100% sure.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yeah we need that

OpenStudy (misty1212):

just looking at A to A' how far down, how far to the right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um...

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i hope that is clear, you count the spaces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 down 5 right?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i think so yeah

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the coordinate of H looks like \((1,1)\) right? if you move it right 5 and down 6, where do you end up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be (-5,6)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

which is another way of asking what is \((1+5,1-6)\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

oh no dear, i think i have confused you left/right is the first coordinate, up/down is the second coordinate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh 6,-5?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you got them switched

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yeah \((6,-5)\) looks good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!
