translate -3,5 up 6 units
Answers

To translate the point \(-3.5\) up 6 units, you add 6 to the y-coordinate. However, since \(-3.5\) represents a number on a number line rather than a point in a coordinate system, it’s important to clarify if you’re referring to a single value or a point with coordinates.
If you are interpreting \(-3.5\) as the y-coordinate of a point (0, -3.5), the translation would result in:
1. Start with the original point: \( (0, -3.5) \)
2. Move up 6 units: \( (0, -3.5 + 6) = (0, 2.5) \)
If \(-3.5\) is simply a standalone number and you want to add 6 to it, the result would be:
\(-3.5 + 6 = 2.5\)
So the translated value or point is \(2.5\).
