I think you might be getting confused with the purpose of the the numbers. The one on top controls the movement left and right, the one on the bottom controls the movement up and down. If the top one is a minus number it goes left, if not it goes right. If the bottom one is a minus number it goes down, if not it goes up. The best way to do this is to pick a corner of the shape and work out where this will go. You can then use this to draw the rest of the shape or repeat the movement with the other corners and then join the dots. You can try using the resource above these comments - remember which corner of the shape you are working on and how it will relate to the other points. I hope this helps with your homework.

I am not a teacher, and i do fully understand this site wasn't made for students... However, i am having a little difficulty with the homework i was given by my teacher. I Know part of this homework , but as there is quite alot to remember about translation, i seem to have forgotten something... The thing is , i am not sure what. In the brackets i am putting a minus sign if it's left and a plus sign if its right. I put this on the top of the bracket. Then i go to the bottom of the bracket where i put plus or minus and then the number, again all deppending on the right or left. But whenever i am to do a shape translation, and i have say...a shape on the screen...and i have to translate the shape onto its new space, by looking at the brackets given above, then i cannot seem to do it correctly. I always put the shape in the wrong place. I am really sorry yet again to bother you, but is there anyway you could help me? Thank-you so much! Kind regards, Hi , sorry to bother you!
