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 i think 7

@GretaKnows  please help

okay since it is moved down there will only be a difference in the y coordiante. so the difference of the y coordiante for each point is the amount it moved down. 
D = 4--17
E= 2--19
F= -7--28
G= -5--26.

now after looking at that how many units did it move down?

anonymous · Answer

sorry if I am really slow open study is lagging so much for me...

anonymous · Answer

its ok

anonymous · Answer

-96?

anonymous · Answer

nope two negatives = a positive so the first one is 4+17

anonymous · Answer

21

anonymous · Answer

4+17=?
2+19=?
-7+28=?
-5+26=?
They all equal the same thing. yep 21 is correct

anonymous · Answer

so 21?

anonymous · Answer

so if the difference in all of the points is 21 then how many units was it moved. 21 units down

ok thank you :)
