Question

The point P1,6) is translated 7 units to the left and 6 units up. What are the coordinates of P?

Answer 1

The answer is P’(-6, 12) because the original point P is (1, 6) and following the translation rules, from point P to 7 units left then 6 units up. You can also do the math by the original x coordinate of 1 and subtract 7 which is -6. Then the original y coordinate of 6 then add 6 is 12.
