How would you describe the effect on the coordinates of the vertices of a figure that is translated to the left 6 units and up 5 units?

a Subtract 6 units from each x-value and add 5 units to each y-value
b Subtract 6 units from each y-value and add 5 units to each x-value
c Subtract 5 units from each x-value and add 6 units to each y-value
d Add 6 units to each x-value and add 5 units to each y-value

The correct answer is a. Subtract 6 units from each x-value and add 5 units to each y-value.
