Question

PLEASE HELP

A point on a pre-image is currently located at (1, -3). The pre-image is translated 3 units right and 6 units up.
What are the NEW coordinates for the point after the translation? Use graph paper to sketch the translation if needed.

A. (3, 4)
B. (4, 3)
C. (7, 0)
D. (-2, 2)

Answer 1

(4, 3)

Explanation:

To solve:

First we have to move 3 units right. This means that we have to increase the x axis, because we move left and right on the x axis. This gets you to the coordinates (4, -3).

Now, to move six units up, add 6 to -3. Instead of counting, using the mathematical way makes it easier to calculate. This gets us a y axis point of 3, since the y axis runs from up to down. When we read the final point out loud, this gives us the answer of ...

(4, 3); 4 on the x axis and 3 on the y axis.
