Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the figure is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the figure is being moved up or down.

Vertices: A'(0,1), B'(1,- 3), C'(- 2,- 2)
Practice makes perfect
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our triangle.
Translations are done by adding or subtracting values from the x-coordinate if the figure is being moved left or right, and from the y-coordinate if the figure is being moved up or down. We want to draw the image of our figure after a translation of 3 units to the left and 4 units down. Therefore, we will subtract 3 from the x-coordinate and subtract 4 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
