Henry plots triangle UVW on a coordinate grid. The coordinates of U are (4, 3). After the triangle is translated 3 units to the left, what are the new coordinates of U ?
A translation to the left is given by the following rule: (x, y) -----> (x-3, y) Applying the rule for point U we have: (4, 3) -----> (4-3, 3) ----> (1, 3) Answer: the new coordinates of U are: (1, 3)
