Can someone help me please? <3 :)) @ganeshie8

@Qwertty123 Quadrilateral ABCD is located at A(−2, 2), B(−2, 4), C(2, 4), and D(2, 2). The quadrilateral is then transformed using the rule (x − 2, y + 8) to form the image A'B'C'D'. What are the new coordinates of A', B', C', and D'? Describe what characteristics you would find if the corresponding vertices were connected with line segments.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there @Mooshka-Skye

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahahahahahahaha, thats hilarious, yeah im trying to figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats funny? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thanks I appreciate it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have the quadrilateral already on a graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt say what x is because with cordinates it is just to mark which goes first. so thats pretty confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think when using the rule you are supposed to go down two and to the right 8 on every point like point A,B,C etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

translating it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i figured it out, (x - 2) is saying move the figure over to the left that many times.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesn't it mean go down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the x the vertical line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right! Oh okay let me change up the graph lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i made my own and the original should move left two squares and up _ squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is what I have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect, you got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay the second question it asks :/ that is where I'm stuck mostly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just describe how you moved it, and how many, etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that all that the second question is asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Describe what characteristics you would find if the corresponding vertices were connected with line segments. I don't think that that is what its asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, describe here you put the dots, how many times you moved it, and anything else you think you should add that helped you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where* not here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you positive though? Sorry its just I haven't done so hot on my last few assignments in geo and I have 3 more questions so..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

partially positive. one thing, if its not asking anything else what do think its asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is what I have for the second part of the question: Characteristics: I put the points (-2,2) (-2,4) (2,4) and (2,2) on the graph and I was able to get Quadrilateral ABCD. Given the rule (x - 2, y + 8) I was able to move each point to the left 2 units and the up 8 units to get the translated quadrilateral of A'B'C'D'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe say what the new points are cause its also asking that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that is the first question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is what I have for that: What are the new coordinates of A', B', C', and D': A' = (-4,10) B' = (-4,12) C' = (0,12) D' = (0,10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second questions is what you typed earlier, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, there you go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i have 3 more questions could you help by any chance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant right now because i have to go for an hour and a half, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thx for your help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome
