To translate a point in the coordinate plane, you adjust its coordinates based on the movement specified.
If point P is located at coordinates (x, y), to translate it 6 units down, you would subtract 6 from the y-coordinate. To move it 2 units to the right, you would add 2 to the x-coordinate.
Thus, the new coordinates for point P after the translation would be:
- New x-coordinate: \( x + 2 \)
- New y-coordinate: \( y - 6 \)
If you provide the original coordinates of point P, I can give you the exact new coordinates after the translation.
