Question

In the figure QRST, point Q has coordinates (2, -3). If you translate the figure 4 units left and 3 units down, what are the coordinates of the translated point Q'?

Answer 1

Q' (- 2, - 6 )

Explanation:

a translation of 4 units left is in the x- direction and means subtract 4 from the x- coordinate.

a translation of 3 units down is in the y- direction and means subtract 3 from the y- coordinate.

Q (2, - 3 ) → Q' (2 - 4, - 3 - 3 ) → Q' (- 2, - 6 )
