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 (4, 6)

Up 4 units:

(4, 6 + 4) = (4, 10)

Down 8 units:

(4, 10 - 8) = (4, 2)

You end up at point (4, 2)
