Question

When translating a point to left or right on a coordinate plane, changes. When translating up or down on a coordinate plane, changes.

• A. $x-$coordinate
• B. $y-$coordinate
• C. $x\&y$coordinate
• D. origin

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

$y-$coordinate

When translating a point to left or right on a coordinate plane, $x-$ coordinate of the point changes.
Example:
In the figure, we can see when point $A$ is translated $4$ units to the right, $x-$ coordinate of point $A$ gets shifted from $-2$ to $2$.

When translating a point up or down on a coordinate plane, $y-$ coordinate of the point changes.
Example:
In the figure, we can see when point $A$ is translated $4$ units down, $y-$ coordinate of point $A$ gets shifted from $2$ to $-2$.
