You can put this solution on YOUR website! up and down translation impacts the y-value in the (x,y) coordinate pair.
left and right translation impacts the x-value in the (x,y) coordinate pair.
reflection about the x-axis would reverse the sign of the y-value in the (x,y) coordinate pair.
reflection about the y-axis would reverse the sign of the x-value in the (x,y) coordinate pair.
your point starts off at the (x,y) coordinate pair of (2,2)
2 units up changes this point from (2,2) to (2,4).
your point is now at (2,4).
5 units to the left changes this point from (2,4) to (-3,4).
your point is now at (-3,4).
reflection about the x-axis changes this point from (-3,4) to (-3,-4).
your point is now at (-3,-4).
