Answer:

False

Explanation:

When a point is moved horizontally, that means it is moving along the x-axis, left and right. Since it's moving left and right, the point's x-coordinate will also be changing.

So the statement is false.

Hope this helps!

The answer is False.

If a point is translate horizontally, the x-coordinate changes and and the y-coordinate stays the same.

Let's take the point (1, 1) as an example. If we translate it horizontally, we get (-1, 1). As we can see, the the x-coordinate changes and and the y-coordinate stays the same.

Best of Luck!
