If a triangle with vertices (4,3), (8,3), and (7,5) is translated to the right 4 units and down 2 units, what are the vertices of the translated figure?
a (8,1), (12,1), and (11,3)
b (8,5), (12,5), and (11,7)
c (8,3), (12,3), and (11,5)
d (0,1), (4,1), and (3,3)
To translate a figure to the right 4 units and down 2 units, we add 4 to the x-coordinates and subtract 2 from the y-coordinates of each vertex.
Original vertices: (4,3), (8,3), (7,5)
Translated vertices:
(4+4, 3-2) = (8,1)
(8+4, 3-2) = (12,1)
(7+4, 5-2) = (11,3)
Therefore, the vertices of the translated figure are (8,1), (12,1), and (11,3).
The correct answer is (a) (8,1), (12,1), and (11,3).
