Question

what kind of translation has been done to quadrilateral abcd? quadrilateral abcd has been translated units to the right and units down. (make sure answers are positive numbers)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinate change

Take point A(2, 2) and its corresponding point E(11, - 1). Calculate the change in x - coordinate. The formula for the change in x - coordinate $\Delta x=x_2 - x_1$. For A and E, $x_1 = 2$ and $x_2=11$, so $\Delta x=11 - 2=9$.

Step2: Identify y - coordinate change

Calculate the change in y - coordinate. The formula for the change in y - coordinate $\Delta y=y_2 - y_1$. For A(2, 2) and E(11, - 1), $y_1 = 2$ and $y_2=-1$, so $\Delta y=-1 - 2=- 3$. Since we need the number of units down (a positive value for the distance), the number of units down is $| - 3| = 3$.

Answer:

9 units to the right and 3 units down
