Question

Point A is located at (2,5) and is translated 6 units to the left. What are the coordinates of point A?

(-4,5)
(2,-1)
(8,5)
(2,11)

Answer 1

(-4,5)

-4 is x (x-axis: left or right)
left is the negatives
right is the positives

5 is y (y-axis: up and down)
Up is positive
Down is negative

This ask for 6 units left, meaning it’s effecting only the x-coordinate.

(2,5)
Taking the x-coordinate (2) minus (since it’s negative) 6

2-6 = -4

Thus it’s (-4,5)
