To describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated to the left 6 units and up 5 units, we need to consider how translations affect the x and y coordinates.
- Translating to the left by 6 units means we subtract 6 from the x-coordinate.
- Translating up by 5 units means we add 5 to the y-coordinate.
Thus, the correct way to express this translation mathematically is:
- For the x-coordinate: subtract 6
- For the y-coordinate: add 5
So, the effect on the coordinates can be described as:
Subtract 6 units from each x-value and add 5 units to each y-value.
Therefore, the response is:
Subtract 6 units from each x-value and add 5 units to each y-value.
