Question

If point A is located at (7,-3) is translated 4 left and 6 up, what is its new location?

Answer 1

If a point (x, y) is translated m units to the right or left, and n units upward or downward,

the new point will be :

`(x\pm m,y\pm n)`

Note that translation to right is Positive,

translation to left is Negative

translation upward is Positive and

translation downward is Negative

From the given problem,

Point A is (7, -3)

Translated 4 units to the left and

6 units upward

so the point will be :

(7-4, -3+6) = (3, 3)

The answer is (3, 3)
