Question

What is the translation of Quadrilateral QMWS to Quadrilateral Q'MW'S' in VECTOR FORM? AQ S SY Your answer

Answer 1

The coordinates of the point M are (4,5), while the coordinates of the point M' are (5,0). To find the vector that points from M to M', substract the coordinates of M from the ones of M':

`\begin{gathered} M^(\prime)-M=(5,0)-(4,5) \\ =(5-4,0-5) \\ =(1,-5) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the translation of QMWS to Q'M'W'S' is, in vector form:

`(1,-5)`
