Question

The coordinates of the vertices are A’ (7,1) B’ (9,1) C’ (10,-3) D’ (6,-3) after a translation. How many units was trapezoid ABCD translated down?

Answer 1

The trapezoid ABCD was not translated up or down as the y-coordinates of the vertices remained the same after the translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the translation down of trapezoid ABCD, we need to compare the y-coordinates of the original vertices A, B, C, D with the y-coordinates of the translated vertices A’, B’, C’, D’.

The y-coordinates of the original vertices A, B, C, D are 1, 1, -3, and -3 respectively. The y-coordinates of the translated vertices A', B', C', D' are 1, 1, -3, and -3 respectively.

Therefore, the trapezoid ABCD was not translated up or down as the y-coordinates of the vertices remained the same after the translation.
