The coordinates of the vertices of a triangle are A(-1, 2), B(3, 1), and C(-3, -2). The coordinates of the vertices of its image are A'(3, -2), B(7, -3), and C'(1, -6). What transformations would result in this image?

ΔABC was translated up 4 units and right 4 units.
ΔABC was translated up 4 units and left 4 units.
ΔABC was translated right 4 units and down 4 units.
ΔABC was translated left 4 units and down 4 units.

Try testing each answer choice and seeing if that gets you from the original vertices to the second set.

I'm a visual learner and don't have a graph so its hard for me to understand the question

studygurl14 · Answer

rember up/down will affect y-values and riught/left will affect x-values

studygurl14 · Answer

up/right - positive change
down/left - negative change

loser66 · Answer

Since they form a triangle, A, B, C change to A', B', C' on the same way. OK?
