How do you translate triangle ABC using the rule (x, y) -> (x + 4, y + 6)?

To translate triangle ABC to a new position on the coordinate plane, we apply the translation rule (x, y) -> (x + 4, y + 6) to each vertex of the triangle.

The vertices of triangle ABC are given as follows:

  • Point A(1, 5)
  • Point B(-1, 2)
  • Point C(3, 1)

Now, let’s apply the translation rule to each point:

  • For point A(1, 5):
    • New A = (1 + 4, 5 + 6) = (5, 11)
  • For point B(-1, 2):
    • New B = (-1 + 4, 2 + 6) = (3, 8)
  • For point C(3, 1):
    • New C = (3 + 4, 1 + 6) = (7, 7)

After translating all the points, the new coordinates of triangle ABC are:

  • A'(5, 11)
  • B'(3, 8)
  • C'(7, 7)

This means that triangle ABC has been moved 4 units to the right and 6 units up on the coordinate plane.
