I'm working on a math portfolio and I'm stuck at the prime and double prime notations!

transamgt30 · Answer

On a coordinate plane, draw a six-sided, closed figure composed of only straight lines that lie in only one quadrant. Label each vertex with a letter from A to F. Identify the coordinates of each vertex.

    Pick two line segments, name them, and find their slope. Remember a line segment is named using its endpoints.

    Translate your figure according to the rule (x, y) (x – 4, y + 2). Draw the image in a different color.

    Identify and label the vertices of the image using prime notation.

    Using the same line segments used in Step 2, name and find the slope of the two line segments from the translated figure.

    Reflect the result of the translation over the x axis. Draw the image in a different color.

    Identify and label the vertices of the image using double prime notation.

    Using the same line segments used in Step 2 and Step 5, name and find the slope of the two line segments from the reflected figure.

I'm not positive, but I believe when they say prime and double prime notation, they want to rename the vertices after you translate them. Like, your first vertices are labeled A to F. Then you do the translation and rename the new vertices as A', B', C', etc. Once you do the reflection, you name that new set of vertices as A'', B'', C'', etc. 

I assume thats what it means.

Oh ok. Thanks! I'm not sure how to translate it though.

I'm also not sure how to label the vertices in prime and double prime notations.

Oh ok. So is the prime and double prime notations labeled as ' and "? Prime notation being labeled as ' and double prime notation being labeled as " ?

Well, once you have chosen and names your vertices, figure out what coordinate points those vertices specifically lie at. Then you're given the translation rule (x-4, y+2). All this means is take eachcoordinate point, subtract 4 from the x coordinate and add 2 to the y coordinate. Here is a quick example
