Question

Explain how to translate the point (2,-5) west 4 units and north 2 units.

Answer 1

Given the point (x, y) a translation 4 units west transforms it into (x-4, y)

Given the point (x, y) a translation 2 units north transforms it into (x, y+2)

Then, (2, -5) is transformed into (2-4, -5+2) = (-2, -3)
