Q. You start at (1,2). You move left 1 unit. Where do you end?(_,_)
Identify translation rule: Identify the translation rule for moving left 1 unit. Moving left means subtracting 1 from the x-value. Translation rule: (x−1,y).
Apply rule to starting point: Apply the translation rule to the starting point (1,2). Using the rule (x−1,y), substitute x=1 and y=2. Calculation: (1−1,2)=(0,2).
