The point (-3,-2) is a vertex of a triangle. If the triangle is translated 5 units to the left what is this point in the translated figure
The new point would be (-8,-2).
To translate a point in the coordinate plane, we simply add or subtract the same amount from both the x and y coordinates. In this case, we need to move the point 5 units to the left.
The original point is (-3, -2). To move it 5 units to the left, we subtract 5 from the x-coordinate.
So, the new x-coordinate is:
-3 - 5 = -8
The y-coordinate remains the same.
Therefore, the translated point is (-8, -2).
