Question

The point M(-6, -4) is translated 2 units right. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, M′?

Answer 1

B) (-4, -4)

When moving to the right you are moving to a more POSITIVE region on the x-axis; meaning, the y-value (vertical axis) does not get affected unless you’re moving up or down.

Remember: (-6, -4)
X = -6
Y = -4

If you move 2 units to the right (x-axis) you go from -6 + 2 which equals -4. And again, you’re not moving up and down so your
y-value stays the same and your new coordinates are (-4, -4)
