Question

A parallelogram with vertices (–1, 3), (5, 1), (3, –2), and (–3, 0) is translated right 4 units, down 2 units.

What are the coordinates of the vertices of the translated parallelogram?

A.
(3, 1), (9, –1), (7, –4), and (1, –2)

B.
(3, 1), (9, –1), (7, 0), and (1, –2)

C.
(3, 5), (9, 3), (7, 0), and (1, 2)

D.
(1, 7), (7, 5), (5, 2), and (–1, 4)

Answer 1

a simple method is to

1. plot the 4 vertices on the number plane

2. apply the transformation to each vertex.

3. join the vertices to see you still have a parallelogram

4. Match your vertices from the number plane to the answer choices.
