Translate a right triangle 4 left and 6 up. Show \triangle transformation.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We have a right triangle in a coordinate plane.
2. We are translating the triangle 4 units to the left, which means in the negative x-direction.
3. We are translating the triangle 6 units up, which means in the positive y-direction.

STEP 2

Identify the coordinates of the vertices of the original right triangle. Let's assume the vertices are A(x1,y1) A(x_1, y_1) , B(x2,y2) B(x_2, y_2) , and C(x3,y3) C(x_3, y_3) .

STEP 3

To translate a point to the left by 4 units, we subtract 4 from the x-coordinate of each vertex of the triangle.

STEP 4

To translate a point up by 6 units, we add 6 to the y-coordinate of each vertex of the triangle.

STEP 5

Apply the translation to vertex A(x1,y1) A(x_1, y_1) .
A(x1,y1)=A(x14,y1+6) A'(x_1', y_1') = A(x_1 - 4, y_1 + 6)

STEP 6

Apply the translation to vertex B(x2,y2) B(x_2, y_2) .
B(x2,y2)=B(x24,y2+6) B'(x_2', y_2') = B(x_2 - 4, y_2 + 6)

STEP 7

Apply the translation to vertex C(x3,y3) C(x_3, y_3) .
C(x3,y3)=C(x34,y3+6) C'(x_3', y_3') = C(x_3 - 4, y_3 + 6)

STEP 8

Now we have the new coordinates of the translated triangle's vertices A(x1,y1) A'(x_1', y_1') , B(x2,y2) B'(x_2', y_2') , and C(x3,y3) C'(x_3', y_3') .

STEP 9

If we want to represent the translation algebraically, we can write the transformation rule as:
(x,y)(x4,y+6) (x, y) \rightarrow (x - 4, y + 6)
This rule can be applied to any point on the original triangle to find its corresponding point on the translated triangle.
