Question

how is the translation from rectangle pqrs to rectangle wxyz described? 8 units right, 5 units down 2 units right, 5 units down 8 units right, 9 units down 2 units right, 9 units down

Explanation:

Step1: Check horizontal movement

Count the number of units between corresponding points horizontally. For example, point P and point W. P is at x - coordinate - 6 and W is at x - coordinate - 4. The difference is $-4-(-6)=2$, so 2 units right.

Step2: Check vertical movement

Count the number of units between corresponding points vertically. For example, point P and point W. P is at y - coordinate 7 and W is at y - coordinate 2. The difference is $2 - 7=-5$, so 5 units down.

Answer:

2 units right, 5 units down
