Draw a figure in Quadrant I. Use a translation to move your figure into Quadrant III. Describe your translation. Can someone explain this? How do I describe my translation?

You could say: I moved my figure down 7 units. That would be a translation.
You could say: I moved my figure down 5 units and left 5 units that would be a translation too. The way I described it sounds (and is) two translations, but nearly the same effect could be described as: I moved my figure southwest 7 units (where north means up), and that would be a single translation.

okay, you are basically moving the figure from Q1 to Q3 by shifting it left, and then down.
