Question

1- When you translate a figure right or left, it changes the value of which coordinate, the x or the y? 2- When you translate a figure up or down, it changes the value of which coordinate, the x or the y?
3- When reflecting the point (-5, 3) over the x-axis, what are the coordinates of the new location? 4- When reflecting the point (7, -2) over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of the new location?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 and 2 - When you translate a figure to the right or left, you are changing the X coordinate, because the X axis goes right to left (or left to right), making the X coordinate change to a negative or positive. Almost the same with number 2, the Y axis goes up and down, making the figure change to a negative or positive.

3 - (-5, -3) when you reflect over the x axis while in quadrant 2, you then change to quadrant 3.

4 - (-7, -2) when you reflect over the y axis while in quadrant 4, you then change to quadrant 3.

Im pretty sure these are right, but sorry if Im wrong. Hope this helps, good luck! ;)
