Help me with this
When quadrilateral ABCD is translated to A'B'C'D', we need to know the original coordinates, and the transformation. Original coordinates (you should be able to recognize the following by reading graphs): A(2,-1), B(1,-4) C(3,-5) D(5,-3) The transformation requested is 3 units down, and 4 units left. In the Cartesian plane, positive x direction is to the right, and positive y direction is up. So 3 units down (negative y) and 4 units left make a translation vector of (-4,-3). The translation T(a,b) is defined as translating points a units \(right\) and b units \(up\). So our problem becomes T(-4,-3). The translation transformation is defined as T(a,b): (x,y)->(x+a, y+b) which means that the point (x,y) would become (x+a, y+b). Since our translation vector is (-4,-3), we have a=-4, b=-3. So to translate point A(2,-1)->A'(2-4,-1-3)=A'(-2,-4). You can complete the quadrilateral A'B'C'D' similarly.
