Question

How would you describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertics on a figure that is translated 4 units down and to the right 3 units

Answer 1

Translate by the vector (3, −4). For every vertex (x, y) the image is (x + 3, y − 4).

Example: (1, 2) → (4, −2). The shape, size and orientation stay the same — only its position changes.
