Translate the figure HIJKL 3 units to the left. Which of the following would be a vertex in translated figure
To translate a figure 3 units to the left, we need to subtract 3 from the x-coordinates.
So if the original coordinates of the figure HIJKL were:
H(xā, yā)
I(xā, yā)
J(xā, yā)
K(xā, yā)
L(xā
, yā
)
The new coordinates of the translated figure would be:
H(xā - 3, yā)
I(xā - 3, yā)
J(xā - 3, yā)
K(xā - 3, yā)
L(xā
- 3, yā
)
From this, we can see that all the x-coordinates of the translated figure will be 3 units less than the x-coordinates of the original figure. Therefore, the vertex in the translated figure would be the one whose x-coordinate is 3 units less than the original figure.
Answer: I(xā - 3, yā)
