The side lengths The coordinates of the vertices The angles Nothing

Slide the triangle to the right or left, then look at the coordinates.

Which coordinates changed?

the x coordinates the y coordinates neither changes both coordinates

Slide the triangle up or down, then look at the coordinates.

Which coordinates changed?
