Question

Point A has the coordinates (3 - 7). Find the coordinates of A', the image of A after it has been translated left 4 units and down 2 unit.

Answer 1

Answer: (-1,-9)

Explanation:

If a point is translate up or down it means your using the y coordinate an if a point is translated left or right your using the x coordinate.

So the x coordinate is 3 and is translated to the left by 4 units so is moving back by 4 .

3-4 = -1

The y coordinate is -7 and is also translated down by 2 units so it is also decreasing.

-7 -2 = -9

so the image is (-1,-9)
