Activity 1.2.1 Understanding Vectors Draw on the graph below by placing points on the coordinate with coordinates (1, A 1), (5, 1), and (2, 4). B C Now create a new triangle on the same grid by moving each vertex up 4 units and to the right 2 units. Determine the and run, rise between AA’, BB’ CC’. = = run rise AA’- run = rise = BB’- = = run rise CC’- What do you notice about the slopes of lines and AA’, BB’ CC’? Determine the from to to and to distances A A’, B B’ C C’. = AA’ = BB’ = CC’ What do you notice about the distances? Based on your observations, comment on the side lengths, angles and overall shape between and .
