How Do You Use Coordinates to Translate a Figure Vertically?

Translating a figure means shifting or sliding it to a new location without changing the size or shape
Once we translate our figure, the resulting figure is an 'image'
Listing the original coordinates will help us figure out what the new coordinates should be
Since we're moving directly down, the x-values just stay the same
Subtract 6 from each of the y-values to move the figure down
Once we know the coordinates for the new points, we can graph them and make our image

1. Listing the original coordinates will help us figure out what the new coordinates should be
1. If we were moving the figure directly right or left, the y-values would stay the same
1. This will move the figure down 6 units
1. Since we're moving the figure directly down, we're subtracting from the y-value
1. Once we know the coordinates for the new points, we can graph them and make our image

Use coordinates to translate a figure 6 units down.
