To translate a point, you adjust its coordinates based on the translation values. In this case, we are translating 3 units to the right and 2 units down.

  1. For the point \((-4, 2)\):

    • Move 3 units to the right: \(-4 + 3 = -1\)
    • Move 2 units down: \(2 - 2 = 0\)
    • The new point is \((-1, 0)\).
  2. For the point \((-4, 6)\):

    • Move 3 units to the right: \(-4 + 3 = -1\)
    • Move 2 units down: \(6 - 2 = 4\)
    • The new point is \((-1, 4)\).

So, the new points on the translated line are:

  • The new point for \((-4, 2)\) is: \((-1, 0)\).
  • The new point for \((-4, 6)\) is: \((-1, 4)\).
