How Do You Use Coordinates to Translate a Figure Horizontally?

List the original coordinates before we try to find the new coordinates
Since we're moving the figure to the right 4 units, we need to add 4 to the x-value of each point
Since we aren't moving vertically, the y-values stay the same

1. Listing the coordinates will help us translate each set of coordinates
1. This is true because we are moving horizontally
2. If we were moving it up or down, the y-values would change, and the x-values would stay the same
1. This is true because we are moving to the right 4 units
2. If we were moving it to the left 4 units, then the x-value would decrease by 4 instead of increase
1. If we were moving it to the left 4 units, then the x-value would decrease by 4 instead of increase
2. Adding 4 to the x-values will give us points in the image
1. Once we've plotted each point, we can connect the dots to create the image!

Use coordinates to translate a figure 4 units to the right.
