Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Translation Worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Translations of a Point" that involves moving points on a coordinate grid according to specific instructions (e.g., "move right 3 units, up 2 units"). Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this type of problem step by step and explain how to approach each question.

🔍 Understanding the Task


Each problem asks you to:
1. Identify the original coordinates of a point (usually marked as a dot) on the grid.
2. Apply a translation (a movement in the x- and y-directions).
3. Plot the new location of the point after the translation.

The general rule for translations:
- Right: Add to the x-coordinate
- Left: Subtract from the x-coordinate
- Up: Add to the y-coordinate
- Down: Subtract from the y-coordinate

🧩 Example Problem (Typical Format)


Let’s say one problem says:

> Move the point 4 units right and 2 units up

And the original point is at (1, 3).

#### Step-by-step:
1. Original point: (1, 3)
2. Move 4 units right → x increases by 4 → 1 + 4 = 5
3. Move 2 units up → y increases by 2 → 3 + 2 = 5
4. New point: (5, 5)

You would then plot this new point on the grid.

General Strategy for All Problems



For any translation:
- Start with the original coordinates.
- Apply the horizontal change (left/right).
- Apply the vertical change (up/down).
- Write the new coordinates.
- Mark the new point on the grid.

💡 Tips:


- Use the grid lines carefully.
- Count squares to ensure accuracy.
- Remember: x comes first, then y — (x, y).
- Positive x = right; negative x = left.
- Positive y = up; negative y = down.

📌 Example Answers (Hypothetical)



Assume the following problems are on your sheet:

1. Original point: (2, 1)
→ Move 3 right, 1 up
→ (2+3, 1+1) = (5, 2)

2. Original point: (-1, 4)
→ Move 2 left, 3 down
→ (-1−2, 4−3) = (-3, 1)

3. Original point: (0, -2)
→ Move 4 right, 5 up
→ (0+4, -2+5) = (4, 3)

If you can describe or list the specific problems (like the starting coordinates and translation directions), I can give you exact answers!

Alternatively, if you can type out the instructions for each box (e.g., “Move 2 right and 1 up”), I’ll walk you through each one.
