Question

Can you create a translation ( x+3, y+2) ? Is it necessary that the same number is added or subtracted to the x and y coordinates of the polygon? Why or why not ?

Answer 1

Can you? Yes!

Need be same? No.

Explanation:

Because adding to or subtracting from the x will translate (shift or slide) your figure left or right (horizontally) and adding to or subtracting from the y will slide or shift the polygon up or down (vertically) So, both can happen and it need not be by the same amount.
