Question

A quadrilateral has vertices (-2,5), (-1,6), (3, 2), and (6, 1). If you translate it 3 units up and 7 units left, what are the coordinates of the vertices of its image?

Answer 1

Do I add 3 and subtract 7 to each x and y value?

Answer 2

@jim_thompson5910 is that the right approach?

Answer 3

yes, but are you adding 3 to x? or y?

Answer 4

Add 3 to x and subtract 7 from y.

Answer 5

it says "translate it 3 units up"

Answer 6

So I'd add 3 to y and subtract 7 from x?

Answer 7

correct

Answer 8

(x,y) ---> (x-7, y+3) is the rule you use
