( I don't understand at all) ΔABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit left. Then it is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to create ΔA′B′C′. What are the coordinates of the vertices of ΔA′B′C′ ? A. A′(-2, 0), B′(1, -1), C′(-1, -1) B. A′(2, 1), B′(5, 0), C′(3, 0) C. A′(-1, -2), B′(2, -3), C′(0, -3) D. A′(-2, 1), B′(1, 0), C′(-1, 0)

`ΔABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit left` what you do is focus on each point one at a time. Start with point A. Move the point 2 units down and 1 unit to the left. You can do this with the coordinates `2 units down` means you subtract 2 from the y coordinate `1 unit left` means you subtract 1 from the x coordinate

what are the coordinates of point A?

what does A shift to when you shift `2 units down and 1 unit left`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2,-1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you mixed up x and y
