Horizontal translations affect the x-coordinate, and vertical translations affect the y-coordinate.
T_(<-12, 4>)(H)
Practice makes perfect
To write a rule for the translation, we should remember that horizontal translations affect the x-coordinate, and vertical translations affect the y-coordinate. Keeping this in mind, let's consider the given translation.
12 units left
and
4 units up
Since the point moves 12 units left and 4 units up, we will subtract 12 from the x-coordinate, and add 4 to the y- coordinate. With this, we can write the rule, as shown below.
(x - 12,y+4) → T_(< -12, 4>)(H)
