Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane's x-axis ranges from negative 7 to 11 and its y-axis ranges from negative 4 to 6, both by 1-unit increments. 8 points are marked and plotted forming 2 quadrilaterals, 1 dotted and 1 solid.

Determine how many units quadrilateral ABCD has been shifted.

(1 point)

To determine how many units quadrilateral ABCD has shifted, we would typically need the coordinates of the points before and after the shift. Since I cannot see or analyze the image directly, I can guide you on how to calculate the shift.

  1. Identify Original Coordinates: If you have the original coordinates of quadrilateral ABCD, note them down.

  2. Identify New Coordinates: Next, note the new coordinates of quadrilateral ABCD after the shift.

  3. Calculate Shift:

    • Horizontal Shift: Subtract the x-coordinate of a point in the original position from the corresponding x-coordinate in the new position to find how many units it has shifted to the left or right. Horizontal Shift=New XOriginal X

    If the result is negative, it means the shift is to the left. If positive, it is to the right.

    • Vertical Shift: Similarly, subtract the y-coordinate of a point in the original position from the corresponding y-coordinate in the new position to find how many units it has shifted up or down. Vertical Shift=New YOriginal Y

    If the result is negative, it means the shift is down. If positive, it is up.

  4. Express the Result: Once you've calculated the shifts, you can fill in the blank in your statement.

Since I cannot see the image or coordinates, I suggest you follow this process with the specific coordinates you have.
