Triangle STU below is translated right 2 units and down 3 units. What are the coordinates of the vertices of the new image?
Without knowing the original coordinates of triangle STU, we cannot determine the new coordinates after translation.
To find the coordinates of the vertices of the new image after translating Triangle STU right 2 units and down 3 units, we need to apply the same translation to each vertex of the original triangle.
Let's assume the original coordinates of the vertices of Triangle STU are:
Point S: (xS, yS)
Point T: (xT, yT)
Point U: (xU, yU)
To translate right 2 units, we add 2 to the x-coordinate of each vertex, and to translate down 3 units, we subtract 3 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
The coordinates of the new vertices are:
Point S': (xS + 2, yS - 3)
Point T': (xT + 2, yT - 3)
Point U': (xU + 2, yU - 3)
So, the coordinates of the vertices of the new image after the translation are:
Point S': (xS + 2, yS - 3)
Point T': (xT + 2, yT - 3)
Point U': (xU + 2, yU - 3)
