Question

The point Q (5,3) is translated 2 units left. What are the coordinates of the resulting point Q

Answer 1

Answer:

(3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's to the left, and not up or down at all, the y-value does not change. The x-value, however, is affected. Since it's to the left, it is decreasing in value by 2 points. If it were to the right, it would increase in value to (7,3), since it'd be going further away from (0,0).

Answer 2

Answer:

Q  = (3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving the point left moves the x value down 2.

5-2=3

Therefore, Q = (3,3)
