Question

1. describe the translation of triangle abc to triangle abc. the triangle was shifted 5 units right and 2 units down. the triangle was shifted 5 units right and 2 units up. the triangle was shifted 5 units left and 2 units up. the triangle was shifted 5 units left and 2 units down.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze x - coordinate change

For point A(-5, 3) to A'(0, 1), the x - coordinate changes from - 5 to 0. The change in x is \(0-(-5)=5\), which means a shift of 5 units to the right.

Step2: Analyze y - coordinate change

The y - coordinate of A changes from 3 to 1. The change in y is \(1 - 3=-2\), which means a shift of 2 units down.

Answer:

The triangle was shifted 5 units right and 2 units down.
