Question

Quadrilateral WXYZ is located at W(2,1), X(5,2), Y(4, 4), Z(2,4). A translation of the quadrilateral is located at W’(-2, -2), X’(1, -1), Y’(0, 1), Z’(-2, 1). How is the quadrilateral translated?

Answer 1

(x, y) ----> (x - 4, y - 3).

( 4 units to the left and 3 units down).

Explanation:

The x coordinates are reduced by -4 Point W: 2 ---> -2) and the y coordinates by -3 (Point X: 2 ---> -1.

The translation is (x, y) ----> (x - 4, y - 3).
