Answer 1

To understand the effect of the translation, we need to keep in mind how translation affects the coordinates of a figure.

When a figure is translated to the left, we subtract from the x-coordinates, and when it is translated upward, we add to the y-coordinates.

In this case, the figure is translated **left 6 units** and **up 5 units**.

- For the left translation, we subtract 6 from each x-coordinate.
- For the upward translation, we add 5 to each y-coordinate.

Therefore, the correct description of the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of the figure is:

**Subtract 6 units from each x-value and add 5 units to each y-value.**
