Exercise 54 Page 144

What does it mean to translate four units to the left?

A'(-3, 0), B'(-1, 0), C'(-1,-4), and D'(-3,-4)

Practice makes perfect
We have been asked to find the coordinates of the figure after translating the rectangle 4 units left. A translation to the left is just moving all of the points on the graph 4 units to the left.

Therefore, we have the new points: A'(-3, 0), B'(-1, 0), C'(-1,-4), and D'(-3,-4).
