Question If you are asked to translate a figure 5 units to the right and 3 units down, how many units should you add to each x -coordinate to find the location of the translated figure?
To translate a figure 5 units to the right, you would add 5 units to each x-coordinate of the figure. To translate the figure 3 units down, you would subtract 3 units from each y-coordinate.
add not subtract
Apologies for the confusion. To translate a figure 5 units to the right, you would add 5 units to each x-coordinate of the figure. Similarly, to translate the figure 3 units down, you would add 3 units to each y-coordinate.
