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.
P'(- 8,- 1), Q'(- 3,- 3), R'(- 11,5)
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 8 units left and 1 unit down. Therefore, we will subtract 8 from the x-coordinate and subtract 1 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
