Vertical & Horizontal Translations Practice

Question

Complete this assessment to review what you've learned. Is figure PQRS is translated 6 units up and 4 units to the left, what are the coordinates of point S’?

Answer 1

To find the new coordinates of point S' after a translation of 6 units up and 4 units to the left, we need to subtract 6 from the y-coordinate and subtract 4 from the x-coordinate of point S.

Let's assume the original coordinates of point S are (x, y).
After the translation, the new coordinates of point S' are (x - 4, y + 6).

Therefore, the coordinates of point S' are (x - 4, y + 6).
