Question

Point W has coordinates (4, -7). If it is translated left 4 units, what are the coordinates of its image?

Answer 1

(0,-7)

Explanation:

Looking at the coordinate plane, (4,-7) would be in the 4th quadrant. If we move 4 units to the left on the X axis, 4 would turn into zero. On the Y axis, moved 4 units to the left, the -7 stays the same. So therefore, (4,-7) translates to (0,-7). I am 12 years old, so I hope this is helpful.

Answer 2

(0, - 7)

Explanation:

A translation of 4 units left means subtracting 4 from the original x- coordinate, but the y-coordinate remains unchanged

W(4, - 7 ) → W'(4 - 4, - 7 ) → W'(0, - 7 )
