Answer:

P' (3, 1)

Q' (5, 1)

R' (5, 4)

S' (3, 4)

T' (3, 3)

U' (1, 3)

V' (1, 2)

W' (3, 2)

Explanation:

What does it mean when a point is translated horizontally to the right by 6 units? That means its x coordinate is increased by 6 units, the y-coordinate is unchanged

(If it was translated 6 units to the left, it's x coordinate would decrease by 6 units)

So if we had a point say (1, 1) then its new x-coordinate will be (1+6, 1) or (7,1) The y-coordinate stays unchanged if the translation is horizontal

When a point is translated vertically by 6 units, its x-coordinate is unchanged but the new y coordinate is increased by 6 units (-6 units if the translation is vertically down)

So with a point (1, 1), an up translation will result in a new point (1, 7)

If both translations are applied both x and y coordinates will change to
(7, 7)


To figure out the new coordinates denoted by P'Q'R'S'T' of each of the points PQRST of the given figure:

Add 6 to the x-coordinate of each point and at the same time add 6 to the y-coordinate of that point

If you look at the graph, the original points and translated points for 6 units to right and 6 units up are
P(-3, -5) which translates to P'(-3 + 6, -5 + 6) or P'(3, 1)

The other new points are calculated the same way by adding 6 to both x and y coordinates

Q(-1, -5) ==> Q'(5, 1)

R(-1, -2) ==> R'(5, 4)

S(-3, -2) ==> S'(3, 4)

T(-3, -3) ==> T'(3, 3)

U(-5, -3) ==> U'(1, 3)

V( -5, -4) ==> V'(1, 2)

W(-3, -4) ==> W'(3, 2)

The attached graph shows the translated figure with the translated points. Essentially the original figure has been shifted 6 units to the right and 6 units up
