Question

What is the image point of (–7, 1) after a translation left 4 units and down 5 units?

Answer 1

Translating a Point

Answer:

$(-11,-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we first translate the point $(-7,1)$ to the left by $4$ units, we just need to subtract the $x$-coordinate of the point by $4$.

$(-7 -4,1) \\ (-11,1)$

Now we have the point $(-11,1)$. We then translate it down by $5$ units by subtracting the $y$-coordinate of the point by $5$ units.

$(-11,1 -5) \\ (-11,-4)$
