You start at (10, 1). You move down 1 unit and left 7 units. Where do you end?

Translation in right or left causes the x coordinate to change while translation in up or down causes the y coordinate to change.

Moving left or down causes the coordinates to be going negative.

Moving right or up causes the coordinates to be positive.

Original point (10, 1).

Down 1 unit:

(10, 1 - 1) = (10, 0)

Left 7 units:

(10 - 7, 0) = (3, 0)

You end at (3, 0)
