Cartesian Plane Coordinates and Translation

Which axis runs horizontally?

• x

• y

How do you write a pair of coordinates?

• (X,X)

• (Y,X)

• (X,Y)

• (Y,Y)

In a pair of coordinates the first number represents which axis?

• y

Determine where X' would be if you translated X 3 units to the left and 9 units down.

• (-4, 4)

• (-4, -5)

• (4, 4)

• (-1, 5)

Translate triangle XYZ using the given vector <-2, -4>. Graph the image.

Determine where X' would be if you translated X 3 units to the left and 9 units down.

• (-2,3)

How is trapezoid ABCD translated to trapezoid A'B'C'D'?

• Translated 8 units to the right and 5 units down

• Translated 5 units to the right and 8 units down

• Translated 5 units to the right and 5 units down

• Translated 6 units to the right and 5 units down

Triangle ABC is translated on a coordinate grid to create A'B'C' as shown on the graph.

Write the vertices for triangle A'B'C' in the blanks below.
