Q1:

The point has been translated three right and three down. What are the coordinates of the image?

Q2:

Start with point . Translate it by 5 units to the left and 2 units up. Follow this with a translation of 5 units to the right and 4 units up. What are the new coordinates?

Q3:

Determine the coordinates of the image of point of quadrilateral after a translation 5 units left and 3 units down.
