Translating a point 4 units to the right means adding 4 to the x-coordinate, and translating it 5 units down means subtracting 5 from the y-coordinate. So, if the original point is (x, y), the new point after the translation would be (x+4, y-5). This transformation is a type of rigid transformation known as a translation, which moves the entire figure without changing its size or shape.

Oh, what a lovely journey we're going on! To translate something means to move it. So, let's take our point and gently shift it 4 units to the right and 5 units down. Just like that, we've created a new location full of possibilities. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!
Oh, dude, it's like moving your house key four steps to the right and then dropping it five steps down. So, in math lingo, you're just shifting your point on a graph four units to the right and five units down. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
In cartesian coordinates (x, y) = (3, -4)
By going left 3 units and down 4 units.
X = 4 is a vertical line, 4 units to the right of the y-axis.
It is 4 units.
Oh, dude, 3 units and 4 tenths is just a fancy way of saying 3.4. It's like saying you have 3 full pizzas and 4 slices of another one. So, yeah, 3 units and 4 tenths is just 3.4. Easy peasy, right?
