1. Translations
Sign In
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.
B
Let's start by considering the given 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 4 units right and 3 units up. Therefore, we will add 4 to the x-coordinate and add 3 to the y-coordinate of each vertex.
Vertices of PQR | (x+4,y+3) | Vertices of P'Q'R' |
---|---|---|
P(- 2,3) | (- 2 + 4,3 + 3) | P'(2, 6) |
Q(4,2) | (4 + 4, 2 + 3) | Q'(8,5) |
R(3,- 3) | (3 + 4,- 3 + 3) | R'(7, 0) |
