1. Translations
Sign In
Let's consider the given trapezoid.
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 7 units down. Therefore, we will add 3 to the x-coordinate and subtract 7 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
Vertices of ABCD | (x+3,y−7) | Vertices of A′B′C′D′ |
---|---|---|
A(-5,2) | (-5+3,2−7) | A′(-2,-5) |
B(-1,2) | (-1+3,2−7) | B′(2,-5) |
C(-2,4) | (-2+3,4−7) | C′(1,-3) |
D(-3,4) | (-3+3,4−7) | D′(0,-3) |
