Final answer:

To translate a parallelogram up 4 units and left 3 units, subtract 3 from the x-coordinate and add 4 to the y-coordinate of each point in the parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate a parallelogram up 4 units and left 3 units, you need to add or subtract those values from each coordinate point of the original parallelogram.

Let's say the original parallelogram has coordinates A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4). To translate it up 4 units, you add 4 to the y-coordinate of each point.

To translate it left 3 units, you subtract 3 from the x-coordinate of each point.

The new coordinates of the parallelogram would be A(x1-3, y1+4), B(x2-3, y2+4), C(x3-3, y3+4), and D(x4-3, y4+4).
