How Do We Describe a Translation?

To describe a translation, you have to say how many squares it has moved to the left or right, and how many squares it has moved up or down.

The shape has been translated 4 squares to the right. Then

3 squares up.

The coordinates of the black point on shape A are (1,4).

What are the coordinates of the point shown on shape B?

(5,7)
