Translate the figure HIJKL 3 units to the left. Which of the following would be a vertex in the translated figure?
(1 point)
• (2, 4)
• (-7, 4)
• (-6, 6)
• (-1, - 2)
The figure HIJKL is translated 3 units to the left. This means that the x-coordinate of each vertex will decrease by 3.
The given vertices have the following coordinates:
• H = (2, 4)
• I = (-7, 4)
• J = (-6, 6)
• K = (-1, -2)
If we subtract 3 from the x-coordinate of each vertex, we get:
• H' = (2 - 3, 4) = (-1, 4)
• I' = (-7 - 3, 4) = (-10, 4)
• J' = (-6 - 3, 6) = (-9, 6)
• K' = (-1 - 3, -2) = (-4, -2)
Out of the given options, the vertex (-4, -2) would be a vertex in the translated figure.
