Question
If you are asked to translate a figure 3 units to the left and 6 units up, how many units should you add to each y-coordinate?(1 point)

Answer 1

When translating a figure, changing its position involves adjusting the coordinates of its points.

For a translation of 3 units to the left, you subtract 3 from each x-coordinate.

For a translation of 6 units up, you add 6 to each y-coordinate.

Therefore, in this case, you should add **6 units** to each y-coordinate.
