Question

in the image below, how is trapezoid abcd translated to trapezoid abcd? select one: a. translated 8 units down and 5 units to the right b. translated 5 units down and 1 to the right c. translated 5 units down and 4 units to the right d. translated 5 units down and 5 units to the right

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze horizontal translation

Count the number of units between the x - coordinates of corresponding points. For example, if we take point A with an x - coordinate of - 2 and point A' with an x - coordinate of 3. The difference in x - coordinates is \(3-(-2)=5\), which means 5 units to the right.

Step2: Analyze vertical translation

Count the number of units between the y - coordinates of corresponding points. Taking point A with a y - coordinate of 5 and point A' with a y - coordinate of 0. The difference in y - coordinates is \(0 - 5=- 5\), which means 5 units down.

Answer:

d. Translated 5 units down and 5 units to the right
