Question

The vertices of triangle XYZ are X(10, 15), Y(30, 40), and Z (70, 30). Find the image of each vertex after the translation. (x, y) → (x + 6, y – 8)

  1. X’(-16, 7), Y’(36, 32), Z’(76, 22)    
  2. X’(16, 7), Y’(-36, 32), Z’(76, 22)    
  3. X’(16, 7), Y’(36, 32), Z’(-76, 22)    
  4. X’(16, 7), Y’(36, 32), Z’(76, 22)    

hintHint:

Translation means moving the point from one point to another point in same direction. In this problem the translation is along x and y axis so, we will move the x and y coordinates in their respective direction.

The correct answer is: X’(16, 7), Y’(36, 32), Z’(76, 22)


    The translation given is (x, y) → (x + 6, y – 8), means x is increased by 6 and y is decreased by 8 in their respective directions. The given coordinates are X(10 comma 15), Y(30 comma 40), and Z (70 comma 30)
    Step1: The new coordinates after translation will be
    X left parenthesis 10 comma 15 right parenthesis space minus greater than space X apostrophe left parenthesis 10 plus 6 comma 15 minus 7 right parenthesis
    So, the new X will be X apostrophe left parenthesis 16 comma 7 right parenthesis
    Y left parenthesis 30 comma 40 right parenthesis minus greater than Y apostrophe left parenthesis 30 plus 6 comma 40 minus 8 right parenthesis
    So, the new Y will be Y apostrophe left parenthesis 36 comma 32 right parenthesis
    Z left parenthesis 70 comma 30 right parenthesis minus greater than Z apostrophe left parenthesis 70 plus 6 comma 30 minus 8 right parenthesis
    So, the new Z will be Z left parenthesis 76 comma 22 right parenthesis.
    Step2:  Calculating the image of the vertex.
    Images of vertex points of the triangle are:
    X’ (16 comma 7), Y’ (36 comma 32), Z’ (76 comma 22)
