Question

Rectangle LMNO was translated 4 units down and 5 units left. After the translation, N’ was at (-6, 5). What was the original

x-coordinate of N?

Answer 1

(-2, 10)

Explanation:

All you have to do is add 4 to -6 and add 5 to 5. Since it was moved 4 units down and 5 units left, that means that those numbers were subtracted from the original coordinates. Although you are trying to find the original points, so instead you add 4 and 5 to the coordinates you have right now.

I hope that makes sense!
