Question

What are the coordinates of each point after quadrilateral EFGH is translated 3 units right and 2 units down? Drag numbers to complete the coordinates. Numbers may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Answer 1

E'(-2, -3), F'(-1, -5), G'(1, -5) and H'(2, -3).

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units right and b units down, the new location of the point is at A'(x + a, y - b)

The location of the vertices of quadrilateral EFGH is E(-5, -1), F(-4, -3), G(-2, -3) and H(-1, -1). If quadrilateral EFGH is translated 3 units right and 2 units down, the new location would be:

E'(-2, -3), F'(-1, -5), G'(1, -5) and H'(2, -3).
