Question

Triangle ABC was translated 5 units right and 2 units down. Which graph correctly illustrates this translation?

Answer 1

@AZ

Answer 2

so take one point and apply the translation to it. it's easier than doing the whole shape at once. so to that point, you will move it 5 units right on the x-axis and 2 units down on the y-axis. after that, you will want to look at the answer choices and see which ones have the point where it was after the translation.

Answer 3

Triangle ABC's coordinates are
A (-5, 3),
B (-1, 7),
C (2, 2).

Step 1:
Add 5 to each X coordinate for triangle ABC

Step 2:
Subtract 2 to each Y coordinate for triangle ABC

Answer 4

What do you get for your new coordinates for each A, B, and C?

Answer 5

Hold on

Answer 6

A (0, 1

Answer 7

B (3, 5

Answer 8

Just say the color of the new triangle.

Answer 9

Pink

Answer 10

Or green

Answer 11

Whets the answer

Answer 12

you don't even need to do any math

take a look at the graphs

the black one is your original triangle

the new triangles are all in color

which one looks like it's been moved 5 units to the RIGHT and 2 units DOWN

Answer 13

Ok

Answer 14

The second one

Answer 15

The second one

Answer 16

Does the second one move down or up by two units?

Answer 17

No

Answer 18

remember, we're moving 5 units to the RIGHT

and 2 units DOWN

which triangle is moving to the right and also down?

Answer 19

The first one

Answer 20

There you go!
