Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To translate a point (x,y)(x, y) by a certain amount horizontally and vertically, you add or subtract from its coordinates.

  • Moving right means adding to the xx-coordinate.
  • Moving left means subtracting from the xx-coordinate.
  • Moving up means adding to the yy-coordinate.
  • Moving down means subtracting from the yy-coordinate.

Since no initial coordinates for a shape are provided, we will express the translated coordinates in terms of an arbitrary original point (x,y)(x, y).

  1. Translate 4 left and 2 down.
  1. Identify the changes in coordinates.

    Moving 4 left means $x \to x - 4$.  
    Moving 2 down means $y \to y - 2$.
    
  2. Apply the changes to the original coordinates $(x, y)$.

    The new coordinates $(x', y')$ will be $(x-4, y-2)$.  
    The image coordinates are $\boxed{(x-4, y-2)}$.
    

    2. Translate 3 right and 5 up.

  3. Identify the changes in coordinates.

    Moving 3 right means $x \to x + 3$.  
    Moving 5 up means $y \to y + 5$.
    
  4. Apply the changes to the original coordinates $(x, y)$.

    The new coordinates $(x', y')$ will be $(x+3, y+5)$.  
    The image coordinates are $\boxed{(x+3, y+5)}$.
