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'(- 6,- 7), Y'(- 5,- 4), Z'(0,- 5)
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 2 units left and 3 units down. Therefore, we will subtract 2 from the x-coordinate and subtract 3 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
