Translations in the Coordinate Plane

When a figure is translated to the right, what happens to the x-coordinate?

• The x-coordinate gets larger (add to x).

• The x-coordinate gets smaller (subtract from x).

• The x-coordinate remains the same.

• The x-coordinate becomes negative.

What does the translation rule (x, y) --> (x - 1, y) indicate?

• It indicates a translation 1 unit to the left.

• It indicates a translation 1 unit to the right.

• It indicates a translation 1 unit up.

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is translated 2 units to the right?
