help: quadrilateral ABCD is located at A(-2,2) B(-2,4) G(2,4) D(2,2). the quadrilateral is then transformed using the rule (x+2,y-3) to form the image A'B'C'D'. what are the new coordinates of of A'B'C'D'? describe what characteristics you would find if the corresponding vertices were connected with line segments.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so you're given coordinates of the vertices of a quadrilateral : ``` A(-2,2) B(-2,4) C(2,4) D(2,2) ```

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

apply the given rule to find the coordinates of image : ``` (x, y) ---> (x+2, y-3) ```

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A(-2,2) --> (0,-1) B(-2,4) --> (0,1) C(2,4) -->(4,1) D(2,2)--> (4,-1) @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Excellent! yes those will be the coordinates of vertices of image quadrilateral

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you know how to answer this `describe what characteristics you would find if the corresponding vertices were connected with line segments.` ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me answer it @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Write something like below : Since all vertices were translated using the same rule, the slopes of segments AA', BB', CC', DD' will all be same. So all the joined segments will be paralell to each other
