Translations in the coordinate grid

To do a translation (movement) of a figure in a coordinate plane, using coordinates, is really easy: a movement so many units right means you add that many units to the x-coordinate. If the movement is to the left, you subtract that many units from the x-coordinate. And similarly, a movement up or down affects the y-coordinate.
