Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific graph or details in the image you uploaded. However, based on your description of the worksheet titled
"Translation - Graphing", I can help you solve this type of problem step by step.
This worksheet asks you to
translate (shift) a given graph on the coordinate plane according to specific directions (e.g., "3 units up", "7 units right", etc.). Here's how to approach each problem:
---
🔍 Understanding Translations
A
translation moves every point of a shape the same distance in the same direction without changing its size or orientation.
-
Up/Down: Affects the
y-coordinate
- Up → Add to y
- Down → Subtract from y
-
Left/Right: Affects the
x-coordinate
- Right → Add to x
- Left → Subtract from x

✔ Step-by-Step Solution Guide
Let’s assume each question has a
pre-image (original graph) drawn on a coordinate grid. You need to:
1. Identify key points on the original graph.
2. Apply the translation to each point.
3. Plot the new points and draw the translated graph.

🧩 Example: Problem 1 – "3 units up"
Suppose the original graph has points at:
- A(1, 2)
- B(3, 4)
- C(5, 2)
To translate
3 units up, add 3 to each
y-coordinate:
- A'(1, 2+3) = (1, 5)
- B'(3, 4+3) = (3, 7)
- C'(5, 2+3) = (5, 5)
Now plot A', B', C' and connect them — that’s your translated graph.

🔁 Apply This to All Problems
Here’s what to do for each:
| Problem | Direction | How to Translate |
|--------|-----------|------------------|
| 1) 3 units up | Add 3 to all y-values | (x, y) → (x, y+3) |
| 2) 7 units right | Add 7 to all x-values | (x, y) → (x+7, y) |
| 3) 5 units left | Subtract 5 from x-values | (x, y) → (x–5, y) |
| 4) 8 units down | Subtract 8 from y-values | (x, y) → (x, y–8) |
| 5) 1 unit down | Subtract 1 from y-values | (x, y) → (x, y–1) |
| 6) 2 units up | Add 2 to y-values | (x, y) → (x, y+2) |
| 7) 6 units right | Add 6 to x-values | (x, y) → (x+6, y) |
| 8) 4 units left | Subtract 4 from x-values | (x, y) → (x–4, y) |

📌 Tips:
- Always label the new points with primes (e.g., A') to distinguish from originals.
- Use a ruler to draw straight lines if the original is a line segment or polygon.
- Double-check one or two points to make sure the translation is correct.

🎯 Final Answer:
You will
draw a new graph for each problem by shifting every point of the original figure as per the instruction. For example:
- If the original triangle has vertices at (0,0), (2,0), (1,3), then:
- After
3 units up: (0,3), (2,3), (1,6)
Plot these new points and connect them accordingly.

If you can describe the original graph (e.g., "a triangle with vertices at (1,1), (3,1), (2,3)") or provide coordinates, I can give exact translated points for each problem.
