- Translate 3 units to the right: Move every point of the shape 3 units right. The original rectangle (corners at (1,2), (3,2), (1,5), (3,5)) becomes (4,2), (6,2), (4,5), (6,5).
- Translate 4 units down: Move every point of the shape 4 units down. The original polygon (approximate corners at (3,8), (5,8), (6,7), (5,6), (3,6)) becomes (3,4), (5,4), (6,3), (5,2), (3,2).
- Translate 5 units to the left: Move every point of the shape 5 units left. The original circle center at (4,4) moves to (−1,4).
- Translate 4 units up: Move every point of the shape 4 units up. The original arrow (tip at (4,1), base at (4,3)) becomes tip at (4,5), base at (4,7).
- Translate 4 units up and 3 units to the right: Move every point 4 up and 3 right. The original car (approximate corners at (2,2), (5,2), (2,3), (5,3)) becomes (5,6), (8,6), (5,7), (8,7).
- Translate 5 units to the left and 1 unit up: Move every point 5 left and 1 up. The original house (approximate corners at (4,2), (6,2), (5,5)) becomes (−1,3), (1,3), (0,6).
