Answer: (1, 4)

Explanation:

To find the coordinates of Q', we need to apply the given translation to the coordinates of Q(-7, 2).

The translation moves the point 8 units to the right and 2 units up.

To move a point to the right, we add the number of units to the x-coordinate, and to move it up, we add the number of units to the y-coordinate.

Applying the translation to Q(-7, 2):

- Adding 8 to the x-coordinate: -7 + 8 = 1

- Adding 2 to the y-coordinate: 2 + 2 = 4

Therefore, the coordinates of Q' are (1, 4).
