Question

A point at (-5,7) in the standard (x,y) coordinate
plane is translated right 7 coordinate units and down
5 coordinate units. What are the coordinates of the
point after the translation?

Answer 1

The correct answer is actually (2,2)

What you do is you add 7 to the x coordinate since it is 7 to the right, -5+7=2 so the new x coordinate is 2

Then you subtract 5 from the y coordinate since it is 5 down, 7-5=2 so the new y coordinate is 2

So the answer is (2,2)
