What are the new coordinates of point A, at ( -1 , - 4 ), when it is translated up 5 units?(1 point) Responses (-6 , -4) (-6 , -4) (4, -4) (4, -4) (-1 , 1) (-1 , 1) (-5 , -9) (-5 , -9) (4 , 1) (4 , 1) (-1 , -9)

Answer 1

To translate a point vertically, you add the number of units you want to move to the y-coordinate of the point.

Point A is at coordinates (-1, -4).

When translating up 5 units, you add 5 to the y-coordinate:

\(-4 + 5 = 1\)

So the new coordinates of point A after the translation are:

\((-1, 1)\)

The correct response is (-1, 1).
