Learn how to horizontally and vertically shift a polygon

The video tutorial explains how to use transformation vectors to shift points on a graph. The teacher demonstrates plotting initial points and applying transformations by shifting them 5 units to the left and 2 units down. The process involves relabeling the points after the transformation. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the transformations applied.

What is the significance of the negative sign in the transformation vector?

Describe the process of shifting the points as mentioned in the text.
