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.
D'(5,- 5), E'(2,- 7), F'(6,- 1), G'(10,- 8)
Practice makes perfect
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our quadrilateral.
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 4 units right and 5 units down. Therefore, we will add 4 to the x-coordinate and subtract 5 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
