Translate figure PQRS 6 units down and 2 units to the right. What are the coordinates of P′ ?

1 answer

To translate point P by moving it 6 units down and 2 units to the right, you simply subtract 6 from the y-coordinate and add 2 to the x-coordinate.

The original coordinates of P are (x, y).

After the translation, the new coordinates, (x', y'), of the translated point P' are:

x' = x + 2
y' = y - 6
