Question

Help, please! The vertices of triangle PQR are P(10 , -6), Q(6 , 2), and R(4 , -1). What translation places the image of the triangle entirely in Quadrant II?

Answer 1

two questions.
1, what quadrant is it in right now ? QI? QII? QIV? or is it in more than one quadrant?
2, how far would you have to move the points to place the entire shape in QII?

Answer 2

actually #2 can also be interpreted as "if you flip or rotate the triangle will the entire shape be displaced into QII?"

Answer 3

the important part is that you graph this !

Answer 4

Two of the points are in Quad IV, R and P. Point Q is in Quad I

Answer 5

hold on let me graph this

Answer 6

I did graph it, but I don't understand the concept of translation.

Answer 7

translation usually involves changing the position and/or size of the shape graphed.

not sure about the size but position yes

Answer 8

How would you answer this question?

Answer 9

well as far as I know, a single translation is not going to shift the triangle into QII... do they only want one translation?

Answer 10

oh, wait... there is a type of translation that will work.
hint: shift

Answer 11

I typed it as it was on my homework. I wish I could give you more information. Do you have any suggestion?

Answer 12

previous comment

Answer 13

So, is "Shift" the answer? What would the new coordinates be for P, Q and R. Or, is that important?

Answer 14

that is a hint. and it would change the coordinates to P ' , Q ' , R '

Answer 15

Can you give me the new coordinates for P' Q' and R'?

Answer 16

that would be a direct answer sorry

Answer 17

Not sure what you mean, are you not allowed to provide a direct answer?

Answer 18

no, this is not an answering machine

Answer 19

that would be brainly lol

do you know what a 'shift' is in math?

Answer 20

Ok, I'm new. Did not know that. How about one of the three new coordinates to get me on the right track?

Answer 21

No, we have not been taught the concept of shift
