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

To translate the point \((-3, -2)\) 5 units to the left, you need to subtract 5 from the x-coordinate.
So, the new x-coordinate will be:
\[
-3 - 5 = -8
\]
The y-coordinate remains the same since there is no vertical translation involved. Therefore, the y-coordinate will still be:
\[
-2
\]
Thus, the new coordinates of the point after the translation will be:
\[
(-8, -2)
\]
So, the vertex of the triangle in the translated figure will be \((-8, -2)\).
So, the new x-coordinate will be:
\[
-3 - 5 = -8
