Question

What are the new vertices of quadrilateral KLMN if the quadrilateral is translated two units to the right and four units upward? A. K = (-2,0), L' = (1,0), M = (1,-3), N = (-2,-3) B. K = (-2,-2), L' = (1,-2), M = (1,-5), N = (-2,-5) C. K = (-0,0), L' = (3,0), M = (3,-1), N = (0,-1) D. K = (-2,2), L' = (1,2), M = (1,-1), N = (-2,-1)

Answer 1

K' ( -2, 2) , L' (1,2) , M' (1,-1) , N' (-2,-1)

Firstly, we needt to identify the coordinates of the vertices of the quadilateral

Afterwards, we then perform the translation

The translation simply means we add 2 to the x-value and add 4 to the y-value

So if we had coordinates of a vertex as (x,y); upon translation, we will have (x + 2, y+ 4)

Let us identify the vertices;

K'

K (-4,-2)

L (-1,-2)

M (-1,-5)

N (-4,-5)

After translation, we have;

K' ( -2, 2) , L' (1,2) , M' (1,-1) , N' (-2,-1)
