Question

3. Trapezoid JKLM is shown on the coordinate plane below.

If trapezoid JKLM is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 2, y - 6), what are the coordinates of point L'? (4 points)

Answer 1

(1, -4).

A way I've always done it is to just take the rule and simply add the numbers.

The current coordinates of L are (-1, 2).

-1 + 2 is 1, and 2 - 6 is -4. Easy peasy. :)
