Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to apply the translation to each of the vertices of the quadrilateral.
The translation is:
- Up 2 units (this means adding 2 to the y-coordinate).
- Left 1 unit (this means subtracting 1 from the x-coordinate).
Given vertices:
- A(-4, -2)
- B(-5, 3)
- C(6, 2)
- D(9, -1)
Translation Steps:
For each vertex, we apply the translation as follows:
- New x-coordinate = original x-coordinate - 1
- New y-coordinate = original y-coordinate + 2
Now, let’s calculate the new coordinates:
-
A':
- Original: A(-4, -2)
- New x = -4 - 1 = -5
- New y = -2 + 2 = 0
- A'(-5, 0)
-
B':
- Original: B(-5, 3)
- New x = -5 - 1 = -6
- New y = 3 + 2 = 5
- B'(-6, 5)
-
C':
- Original: C(6, 2)
- New x = 6 - 1 = 5
- New y = 2 + 2 = 4
- C'(5, 4)
-
D':
- Original: D(9, -1)
- New x = 9 - 1 = 8
- New y = -1 + 2 = 1
- D'(8, 1)
Final Translated Coordinates:
- A'(-5, 0)
- B'(-6, 5)
- C'(5, 4)
- D'(8, 1)

Tip:
Always check if the translation is positive (up/right) or negative (down/left) to adjust the coordinates accordingly.
