Which directions am I translating if I am moving my figure 9 units horizontally and -4 units vertically? A: 9 left and 4 up
B: 9 right and 4 up
C: 9 left and 4 down
D: 9 right and 4 down

You can remember horizontal be horizon which is left to right

And verticals by your vertebrae which is up and down

The first number is the x axis (side to side) and the second is the y axis (up and down)

9 right and 4 down

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled

its 50 miles away from the starting point
