Given:
The vertices of a triangle are A(-1,-1), B(-1,-5), C(0.5,-5).
The figure is translated 2 units left.
To find:
The vertices and the diagram of the triangle after the given translation.
Solution:
if a figure is translated 2 units left, then
[tex](x,y)\to (x-2,y)[/tex]
Using the above rule, we get
[tex]A(-1,-1)\to A'(-1-2,-1)[/tex]
[tex]A(-1,-1)\to A'(-3,-1)[/tex]
Similarly,
[tex]B(-1,-5)\to B'(-1-2,-5)[/tex]
[tex]B(-1,-5)\to B'(-3,-5)[/tex]
And,
[tex]C(0.5, -5)\to C'(0.5-2,-5)[/tex]
[tex]C(0.5, -5)\to C'(-1.5,-5)[/tex]
So, the vertices of the triangle after the translation are A'(-3,-1), B'(-3,-5), C'(-1.5,-5).
Therefore, the correct option is B.
