Line segment CD begins at -1,1 and ends at 4,1. The segment is translated 2 units down to form line segment C'D'. Line segment C'D' begins at -1,-1.

Answer 1

To translate line segment CD, which starts at (-1, 1) and ends at (4, 1), 2 units down, we need to subtract 2 from the y-coordinates of both endpoints.

The starting point (-1, 1) is translated to:

\[ (-1, 1 - 2) = (-1, -1) \]

This confirms the starting point of line segment C'D' as (-1, -1).

Now we need to translate the ending point (4, 1):

\[ (4, 1 - 2) = (4, -1) \]

So, the end of line segment C'D' is at the coordinates (4, -1).

Thus, the coordinates for the end of line segment C'D' are:

\[ (4, -1) \]
