Triangle RST with vertices R(2, 5), S(1, 4), and T(3, 1) is Translated 3 units right. What are the coordinate of S', R' &T'?

Answer 1

Maverick Smith

See explanation.

To move a point #n# units right means to add #n# to #x# coordinate, so here we have to add #3# to all #x# coordinates:

#R'=(2+3;5)=(5;5)#

#S'=(1+3;4)=(4;4)#

#T'=(3+3;1)=(6;1)#

To translate a triangle 3 units to the right, you add 3 to the x-coordinate of each vertex.

For vertex S(1, 4): S' will have coordinates (4, 4).

For vertex R(2, 5): R' will have coordinates (5, 5).

For vertex T(3, 1): T' will have coordinates (6, 1).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
