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: C'(1,2), D'(3,- 2),
Practice makes perfect
Let's start by plotting the given points and connecting them to draw our segment.
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 right and 2 units down. Therefore, we will add 3 to the x-coordinate and subtract 2 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.
