I'm not sure I understand what you are supposed to do.

I take it you have some sort of figure on a 20x8 grid, and you are supposed to show the figure translated 5 units up and 4 units right.

If the figure is not simple, then that would, as you say, take a lot of effort.

If, by chance, the 20x8 grid show a coordinate system with an x- and y-axis, then you can do the translation by defining a new x-axis 4 units to the left of the original x-axis and a new y-axis 5 units below the original y-axis. Then the original figure, with respect to the newly defined x- and y-axes, is translated 5 units up and 4 units right.

Other than that, I don't have any suggestions....
