The point C(-3,1) is translated to the left 4 units and up 1 unit. Write the rule for this translation. What are the coordinates?

(x,y)-> (x+4,y+1);(7,-2)

That is my answer. Am I right?

left 4 means subtract.

as you said, up 1 means add.

But even if your translation were correct, you did not do the math right

1+1 ≠ -2

Try again. You're getting the +'s and -'s mixed up some.

(x,y)-> (x-4,y+1);(-1,0)

Is that the answer? @Steve

(x,y)-> (x-4,y+1) is correct.

But you still botched it:

(-3,1) -> (-3-4,1+1) = (-7,2)

+ means ADD: 1+1 = 2, not 0!
same for subtracting:
-3-4 = -7
-3+4 = 1
-1 is just plain bogus, man.

Yes, your answer is correct. The rule for this translation is to subtract 4 units from the x-coordinate and add 1 unit to the y-coordinate. So, if the original point is C(-3,1), after the translation, the new coordinates would be C'(-3 - 4, 1 + 1), which simplifies to C'(-7, 2). However, you mentioned the coordinates (7, -2) as the result of the translation. I believe there might have been a mistake in your response. The correct answer should be C'(-7, 2).
