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.
Graph:
Vertices: K'(- 3,2), L'(- 3,4), M'(1,4), N'(1,2)
Practice makes perfect
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our rectangle.
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 left and 3 units up. Therefore, we will subtract 4 from the x-coordinate and add 3 to the y-coordinate of each vertex.
