Q:

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.

A:
Given vertices of the Quadrilateral ABCD :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).Let us find the coordinate  A', B', C', and D' by rule (x − 2, y + 8).A(−2, 2) ---> (-2-2 , 2+8) = (-4, 10) B(−2, 4) ---> (-2-2, 4+8) = (-4, 12)C(2, 4), ---> ( 2-2, 4+8) = (0, 12) D(2, 2) ---> (2-2, 2+8) = (0, 10).So, the coordinates of A', B', C', and D' are A'(-4, 10), B'(-4, 12), C'(0, 12), and D'(0, 10).For the new coordinates we get we can say that each of the coordinate A', B', C', and D' moved 2 unit left and 8 units up.
