Answer:

(-10, 8)

Explanation:

A translation left 4 units and down 1 unit would be described algebraically as:


(x,y)\rightarrow(x-4,y-1)

Apply rule to (-6,9):


(-6,9)\rightarrow(-6-4,9-1)\rightarrow(-10,8)

The image after the translation should be (-10, 8).

Hope this helps.

Answer:

( -10,8)

Explanation:

(-6,9)

Shifting 4 units left means subtract 4 from the x coordinate

(-6-4,9)

Shifting 1 unit down means subtract 1 from the y coordiant

(-6-4,9-1)

( -10,8)
