Question
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane with four quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A triangle is formed by joining three points A B C. The coordinates of the plotted points of the triangle are as follows: Vertex A is left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, vertex B is left parenthesis 6 comma 4 right parenthesis, and vertex C is left parenthesis 9 comma 0 right parenthesis.
If the given triangle ABC is translated 8 units down, what are the coordinates of point B′ ?

To find the coordinates of point B' after the translation, we need to subtract 8 from the y-coordinate of point B.
The y-coordinate of B is 4, so when we subtract 8, we get:
4 - 8 = -4
Therefore, the y-coordinate of B' is -4.
The x-coordinate of B remains the same, which is 6.
Therefore, the coordinates of point B' are (6, -4).
