Question

If triangle PQR is plotted, it will have the following coordinates, P(-4, 0), Q(4, 2) and R(-2, 4


If point R is translated 4 units right and 7 units down, what are the coordinates of R’? Explain your answer
[ it is a coordinate graph with a 12 y axis and a 8 x axis I couldn’t put in a picture it’s too big ]

Answer 1

Answer:  (2,-3)

============================================================

Explanation:

Point R is located at (-2,4)

Shift it to the right 4 units to move it to (2,4). Note how I added 4 to the x coordinate.

Then we subtract 7 from the y coordinate to move it 7 units down. We move from (2,4) to (2,-3) which is where point R' is located.

Check out the diagram below.
