Answer:
point (x,y) translated 2 units to the left will give the point (x-2,y)
(x,y) = (x-2,y)
Explanation:
We will apply the translation on a given point.
Suppose that we have a point with coordinates (x,y).
We want to translate this point 2 units to the left. This means that we will move this point 2 units to the left.
Doing this, we will find that:
the x-value of the coordinate is decreased by 2
the y-value of the coordinate did not change as no translation occurred in the vertical axis.
Therefore:
a point (x,y) can be translated two units to the left to be (x-2 , y)
Hope this helps :)
