The rule that describes this transformation is (x - 3, y + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The points of the trapezoid are
M; (-3, -1),
N; (-4, 3),
P; (1, 3), and
Q; (-1, -1).
Step 2:
To translate the points to 3 units on the left, we subtract the x coordinate by 3 because it is moved to the left. So x becomes x - 3.
In order to translate the points to 1 unit up, we add 1 to the y coordinate as it is moved in the positive direction of y. So y becomes y + 1.
Combining these we get (x, y) becomes (x - 3, y + 1).
