1)

The ordered pair (x + 4, y + 6) was used to translate an object. To find the pre-image of the object, you would need to move _____.

four units right and six units up
four units left and six units down
four units left and six units up
six units up and four units down

2)

A point on a pre-image is G(5, -2). If its image has coordinates G'(2, 1), what was the translation?

(x - 3, y - 3)
(x + 3, y - 3)
(x - 3, y + 3)
(x + 3, y + 3)
