If you are asked to translate a figure 3 units to the left and 6 units up, how many units should you add to each y-coordinate

Answer 1

When translating a figure 3 units to the left and 6 units up, you should add 6 units to each y-coordinate.

To clarify:

• "3 units to the left" affects the x-coordinate (you would subtract 3 from the x-coordinate).
• "6 units up" affects the y-coordinate (you would add 6 to the y-coordinate).

So, to your specific question, you should add 6 to each y-coordinate.
