You start at (3, 0). You move left 1 unit. Where do you end?

Answer:

(2,0)

Explanation:

Translation is a type of transformation that a graph can go through. A translation moves a point up, down, left, and/or right.

First, you need to understand how translations affect a coordinate point. Moving 1 unit left is a horizontal translation. This means that it will change the x-value of a coordinate point (reminder: the x-value is the first value in a coordinate pair).

Then, remember the difference between moving left and right. Moving right will increase the x-value, and moving left will decrease the x-value.

  • For example, (4,5) moved 2 units right is (6,5).
  • If you move (4,5) 2 units left it becomes (2,5)

Finally, rewrite the coordinate pair using the information above. Since you are moving the point 1 unit to the left, you must subtract 1 from the x-value. This creates the new coordinate pair, (2,0).
