Use the translation to move the points by adding 9 to the x-coordinates and subtracting 2 from the y-coordinates of each vertex.
Before we try to translate the given points, let's draw the triangle â–³ PQR on a coordinate plane using the given points. This triangle will be our preimage.
Now that we have the preimage, we can create the image using the translation (x,y) → (x+9,y-2). This translation tells us that for every point in △ PQR, we should add 9 to the x-coordinate and subtract 2 from the y-coordinate.
We can see that the translation moved the points to the right and down. Finally, we can connect the points to have the new triangle.
