The coordinates of the vertices of figure DEFG are D(8, 4), E(16, 2), F(14, −7), and G(8, −5). Figure DEFG was translated to produce figure DꞌEꞌFꞌGꞌ with vertices Dꞌ(8, −17), E(16, −19), Fꞌ(14, −28), and Gꞌ(8, −26).

How many units was figure DEFG translated?

units down

(8,4) to (8,-17)  Just count (or maybe subtract).

huh

tkhunny · Answer

The 8 didn't change, did it?  This means there is no HORIZONTAL translation.
How about the other number?  How about VERTICAL translation?

I think you have it.  Do another point and see if you get the same thing.

(16,2) to (16,-19)
