What are the coordinate points of E' if E (-9, 8) is translated left 13 units, then up 21 units?

1 answer

To find the new coordinates \( E' \) after translating point \( E (-9, 8) \) left 13 units and then up 21 units, we can break the translation down into two steps:

  1. Translate left 13 units:
    To move left, we subtract from the x-coordinate.
    New x-coordinate:
    \[ -9 - 13 = -22 \]
    The y-coordinate remains the same:
    \( 8 \).

    Now the coordinates after the first translation are \( (-22, 8) \).

  2. Translate up 21 units:
    To move up, we add to the y-coordinate.
    New y-coordinate:
    \[ 8 + 21 = 29 \]
    The x-coordinate remains the same:
    \( -22 \).

    Now the final coordinates after both translations are \( (-22, 29) \).

Thus, the coordinate points of \( E' \) are \( \boxed{(-22, 29)} \).
