Exercise 55 Page 214

The given translation rule tells that for every vertex we should subtract 2 from the x-coordinate.

A'(0,-1), B'(-2,4), C'(-5,5)

Practice makes perfect
We are given the vertices of â–ł ABC and a translation rule.

(x,y) → (x- 2,y) To find the coordinates of the vertices of the image, we need to subtract 2 from the x-coordinates of the vertices of the preimage. ccccc (x,y) &→ &(x- 2,y) & → & (x',y) A(2,-1) &→ & (2- 2,-1) &→ & A'(0,-1) B(0,4) &→ & (0- 2,4) &→ & B'(-2,4) C(-3,5) &→ & (-3- 2,5) &→ & C'(-5,5)
