Let's solve each problem step by step from the
Translations Worksheet you provided.

Problem 1:
>
Slide 8 left and 5 down.
We are given a triangle with vertices:
- A(4, 6)
- B(6, 2)
- C(2, 2)
We need to translate this triangle
8 units left (subtract 8 from x) and
5 units down (subtract 5 from y).
#### Step-by-step translation:
-
A(4, 6) → (4 - 8, 6 - 5) =
(-4, 1)
-
B(6, 2) → (6 - 8, 2 - 5) =
(-2, -3)
-
C(2, 2) → (2 - 8, 2 - 5) =
(-6, -3)
#### Final Image Vertices:
- A'(-4, 1)
- B'(-2, -3)
- C'(-6, -3)
✔ Plot these points on the grid and draw the translated triangle. Label the image as A'B'C'.

Problem 2:
>
Translate using vector: (x, y) → (x + 8, y + 10)
Given quadrilateral with vertices:
- A(-4, -1)
- B(-4, -7)
- C(-6, -6)
- D(-6, -1)
Apply transformation:
Add 8 to x, add 10 to y
#### Translated points:
- A(-4, -1) → (-4 + 8, -1 + 10) =
(4, 9)
- B(-4, -7) → (-4 + 8, -7 + 10) =
(4, 3)
- C(-6, -6) → (-6 + 8, -6 + 10) =
(2, 4)
- D(-6, -1) → (-6 + 8, -1 + 10) =
(2, 9)
#### Final Image Vertices:
- A'(4, 9)
- B'(4, 3)
- C'(2, 4)
- D'(2, 9)
✔ Plot these points and draw the new quadrilateral. Label it A'B'C'D'.

Problem 3a:
> Graph and label the polygon determined by the coordinates below, then graph and label the image created by the transformation:
Original Points:
- P(4, 3)
- Q(7, 3)
- R(5, 7)
Transformation:
(x, y) → (x + 4, y – 5)
#### Apply transformation:
- P(4, 3) → (4+4, 3–5) =
(8, -2)
- Q(7, 3) → (7+4, 3–5) =
(11, -2)
- R(5, 7) → (5+4, 7–5) =
(9, 2)
#### New Points:
- P'(8, -2)
- Q'(11, -2)
- R'(9, 2)
✔ Graph the original triangle PQR and the image triangle P'Q'R'.

Problem 3b:
>
Original Points:
- A(0, 0)
- B(-4, 0)
- C(-4, 3)
Transformation:
(x, y) → (x + 6, y + 2)
#### Apply transformation:
- A(0, 0) → (0+6, 0+2) =
(6, 2)
- B(-4, 0) → (-4+6, 0+2) =
(2, 2)
- C(-4, 3) → (-4+6, 3+2) =
(2, 5)
#### New Points:
- A'(6, 2)
- B'(2, 2)
- C'(2, 5)
✔ Graph the original triangle ABC and the image triangle A'B'C'.

📌 Instructions for Graphing:
1. Use graph paper or coordinate plane.
2. Plot the original points and connect them to form the pre-image.
3. Plot the translated points and connect them to form the image.
4. Label all vertices clearly (e.g., A, B, C and A', B', C').
5. Optionally, use arrows to show direction of translation.
