A triangle with vertices $A\left(-7,6\right)$A(7,6), $B\left(-2,6\right)$B(2,6), and $C\left(-2,1\right)$C(2,1) undergoes a sequence of transformations.

A coordinate plane showing triangle ABC
a

First the triangle is translated down $4$4 units.

Determine the new coordinates of the vertices after this translation:

$\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right),\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right),\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,),(,),(,)

b

Next the triangle is reflected across the $y$y-axis.

Determine the final coordinates of the vertices after the reflection:

$\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right),\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right),\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,),(,),(,)

Outcomes

8.MG.3

The student will apply translations and reflections to polygons in the coordinate plane.

8.MG.3c

Given a preimage in the coordinate plane, identify the coordinates of the image of a polygon that has been translated and reflected over the x- or y-axis or reflected over the x- or y-axis and then translated.

8.MG.3d

Sketch the image of a polygon that has been translated vertically, horizontally, or a combination of both.

8.MG.3e

Sketch the image of a polygon that has been reflected over the x- or y-axis.

8.MG.3f

Sketch the image of a polygon that has been translated and reflected over the x- or y-axis, or reflected over the x- or y-axis and then translated.

8.MG.3g

Identify and describe transformations in context (e.g., tiling, fabric, wallpaper designs, art).
