Question

Point (7, 2) is translated up 2 units and left 5 units. Where is the new point located?(12, 4)(9, -3)(2,0)(2, 4)

Answer 1

The new point is located at (2,4)

Here, we want to get the result of a translation

2 units up simply mean, we are adding 2 to the y-axis value

5 units left mean we are subtracting 5 from the x-axis value

We can represent the translation as;

`\begin{gathered} (x,y)\rightarrow\text{ (x-5 , y+2)} \\ =\text{ (7-5,2+2) = (2,4)} \end{gathered}`
