Regina drew a triangle with vertices at (1, 2), (3, 3), and (4, 1). She slides the triangle 2 units down to create an image. What are the vertices of the image?
10 points
(1, 0), (3, 1), and (4, -1)
(1, 4), (3, 5), and (4, 3)
(-1, 2), (1, 3), and (2, 1)
(3, 2), (5, 3), and (6, 1)
so whats the answer
I think A, going off what Reiny said
C
WHO GOT THE ANSWRS TO THE WHOLEE QUiZzzzzz
To find the coordinates of the image after sliding the triangle 2 units down, you simply need to subtract 2 from the y-coordinates of each vertex.
Original Triangle:
Vertex A: (1, 2)
Vertex B: (3, 3)
Vertex C: (4, 1)
Sliding 2 units down means subtracting 2 from the y-coordinate:
New Vertex A: (1, 2-2) = (1, 0)
New Vertex B: (3, 3-2) = (3, 1)
New Vertex C: (4, 1-2) = (4, -1)
Therefore, the vertices of the image after sliding the triangle 2 units down are:
(1, 0), (3, 1), and (4, -1)
So, the correct answer is:
(1, 0), (3, 1), and (4, -1)
The "sliding" down means that you are moving the triangle vertically only
So simply subtract 2 from each of the y components of the points.
What do you get ?
