The point U (4,5) is translated 2 units right. what are the coordinates of the resulting point,U.

Question

A Translation left or right will change the x- coordinates

(x+4,y) moves the figure 4 units right

(x,y-7) Moves the figure 7 units down

(x-1,y+2) moves the figure 1 unit left and 2 units up

Answer 1

Answering: The point U (4,5) is translated 2 units right. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, U?

Translation means the points on the coordinate plane (x, y) "slide" up, down, right or left by the units and direction specified. In this case the point is translated 2 units right, horizontally.

In this case (x) represents point 4 and slides to 6 and (y) or 5 slides horizontal, but this does not affect

(y) representing point 5, as it is the vertical point. The new resulting point U (x ,y) is (6,5)

Answer 2

(4,5) right 2 units is (6,5)

(x,y) moved right 4 units is (x+4,y)

(x,y) moved 7 units down is (x,y-7)

(x,y) moved 1 unit left and 2 up is (x-1, y+2)
