A triangle ABC is shown on the axes below.

The triangle is translated and the vertex A moves to the new coordinates (1, −2).
a. Describe the translation.
Vertex A has been translated 5 units to the right and 2 units down to its new position.
b. Calculate the coordinates of the vertices B and C after the translation.

All points move the same amount, i.e. 5 units to the right and 2 units down.

Therefore the coordinates of B are (5 , −1) and those of C are (4 , 2).
