It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a worksheet titled
"Translation of a Point", which asks students to translate points on a coordinate grid according to given instructions (e.g., "move 3 units right and 2 units up"). Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific coordinates or grids in your image.
However, I can help you solve this type of problem if you provide the details. Here’s how to approach it:
---
🔷 Understanding Point Translation
A
translation moves a point a certain number of units horizontally (left/right) and vertically (up/down) without changing its size or shape.
-
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:
Suppose a point is at
(2, 1) and the instruction is:
> "Move 3 units right and 2 units up"
Then:
- New x = 2 + 3 =
5
- New y = 1 + 2 =
3
- Translated point =
(5, 3)
You would then plot this new point on the grid.

✔ Steps to Solve:
1. Identify the original point's coordinates.
2. Apply the translation rules:
- Right/Left → change x
- Up/Down → change y
3. Plot the new point on the grid.

🛠️ How You Can Help Me Solve It:
Please describe or list:
- The original coordinates of the point(s)
- The translation instructions (e.g., “move 4 units left and 1 unit down”)
- Or, if possible, transcribe the grid values from the image
Once I have that, I’ll walk you through each step and give you the correct translated points!
