Question

A polygon is shown on the graph:

A polygon is shown on a coordinate plane. The vertices are A at negative 6 comma 5, B at negative 6 comma 2, C at negative 2 comma 2, and D at negative 2 comma 6.
If the polygon is translated 4 units down and 5 units right, what will the coordinates of the new image be? Use prime notation in expressing the new coordinates. (5 points)

Answer 1

The new coordinates of the polygon after translating 4 units down and 5 units right would be:

A': (-6+5, 5-4) = (-1, 1)
B': (-6+5, 2-4) = (-1, -2)
C': (-2+5, 2-4) = (3, -2)
D': (-2+5, 6-4) = (3, 2)

So, the coordinates of the new image are A'(-1, 1), B'(-1, -2), C'(3, -2), and D'(3, 2).
