You move right 3 units and up 3 units. You end at (0, 3). Where did you start?

Answer: (-3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:-3 plus 3 is 0, and 3 + 0 is 3 (duh)

Therefore, moving on a graph 3 times up and 3 times to the right provides the answer: (-3,0)

We started at (-3, 0)

The formula for translation is:
(x, y) = (x + h, y + k)
Additional info:
(x + h): Move “h” units to the right
(x - h): Move “h” units to the left
(y + k): Move “k” units up
(y - k): Move “k” units down

(x, y) = (x + h, y + k).
x and y in the left side is what we are trying to find. x and y in the right is (0, 3), making x = 0 and y = 3. h and k is what we are doing to the coordinates (going up/down/left/right) which would be (3, 3), making h = 3 and k = 3. Since we are going down and to the left, it will be (-3, -3).

The equation will look like this:
(x, y) = (0 - 3, 3 - 3)
Solve it:
(x, y) = (-3, 0).
