Question 11 • A4158 Integrated Math 1b

Right triangle LMN has vertices L(7, –3), M(7, –8), andN(10, –8). The triangle is translated on the coordinate plane so the coordinates of L’ are (–1, 8).

Answer
A
(x, y) → (x + 6, y – 5)
B
(x, y) → (x – 6, y + 5)
C
(x, y) → (x + 8, y – 11)
D
(x, y) → (x – 8, y + 11)

Explanation

To find the translation, compare L(7, −3) with L′(−1, 8). The x-coordinate changes by −1 − 7 = −8, and the y-coordinate changes by 8 − (−3) = 11. So every point moves left 8 units and up 11 units, which is the rule (x, y) → (x − 8, y + 11), choice D.
