Question

A point is translated 2 units right and 5 units down on the coordinate plane. How will this affect the x- and y-coordinates of the point?

Answer 1

here for points

Explanation:

Answer 2

If you have the following point at the origin:

A(0,0)

Where x=0 and y=0

and you translate it 2 units right and 5 units down on the coordinate plane, you have that the new coordinates of that point, which we will call A', is:

x'=0+2=2
y'=0-5=-5

A'(2,-5)

You can see this clearly in the graph attached.
