Question

1. describe and correct the error in graphing the translation of quadrilateral efgh.

$(x,y)\to(x - 1,y - 2)$

Explanation:

The given translation rule is $(x,y) \to (x-1,y-2)$, meaning each point should move 1 unit left (subtract 1 from x-coordinate) and 2 units down (subtract 2 from y-coordinate). The graphed image likely shifted right/up instead of left/down. To correct it, apply the rule properly to each vertex of EFGH: for each vertex $(x,y)$, plot $(x-1,y-2)$ and connect the new points to form the translated quadrilateral.

Answer:

The error is translating the quadrilateral in the wrong direction; the correct translation should shift each point left 1 and down 2.
