Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the figure is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the figure is being moved up or down.
Graph:
Vertices: X'(- 1,0), Y'(0,3), Z'(5,2)
Practice makes perfect
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our triangle.
Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the figure is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the figure is being moved up or down. We want to draw the image of our figure after a translation 3 units right and 4 units up. Therefore, we will add 3 to the x-coordinate and add 4 to the y-coordinate of each vertex.
