The vertices of a triangle are located at the points A(0, 1), B(2, 4) and C(3, 0). The triangle is translated 5 units down to obtain triangle A′B′C′. What are the coordinates of the vertices of triangle A′B′C

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle A'B'C' are [tex]A'(x,y) = (0,-4)[/tex], [tex]B'(x,y) = (2,-1)[/tex] and [tex]C'(x,y) = (3,-5)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this statement, triangle ABC must be translated 5 units in the -y direction to form triangle A'B'C'. We need to use the following operations:

[tex]A'(x,y) = A(x,y) +(0,-5)[/tex] (1)

[tex]B'(x,y) = B(x,y) +(0,-5)[/tex] (2)

[tex]C'(x,y) = C(x,y) + (0,-5)[/tex] (3)

If we know that [tex]A(x,y) = (0,1)[/tex], [tex]B(x,y) = (2,4)[/tex] and [tex]C(x,y) = (3,0)[/tex], then the new  vertices of the rectangle are, respectively:

[tex]A'(x,y) = (0,-4)[/tex], [tex]B'(x,y) = (2,-1)[/tex], [tex]C'(x,y) = (3,-5)[/tex]
