1. **Problem Statement:** Translate quadrilateral ABCD along the vector \(\langle -4, -6 \rangle\). 2. **Translation Rule:** To translate a point \((x, y)\) by a vector \(\langle a, b \rangle\), use the rule: $$ (x, y) \to (x + a, y + b) $$ 3. **Applying the translation \(\langle -4, -6 \rangle\):** For each vertex of ABCD, add \(-4\) to the x-coordinate and \(-6\) to the y-coordinate. 4. **Translate along \(\langle 5, 4 \rangle\):** Similarly, translate each vertex by adding 5 to x and 4 to y. 5. **Find coordinates for \(C'\) and \(B'\):** If original \(C = (x_c, y_c)\) and \(B = (x_b, y_b)\), then $$ C' = (x_c + 5, y_c + 4) $$ $$ B' = (x_b + 5, y_b + 4) $$ 6. **Determine the translation rule for triangle ABC to A'B'C':** Compare original and image coordinates to find the vector \(\langle a, b \rangle\) such that $$ (x, y) \to (x + a, y + b) $$ 7. **Determine the translation rule for quadrilateral QRST to Q'R'S'T':** Similarly, find the vector \(\langle a, b \rangle\) for this translation. --- **Example with given points:** - Suppose \(C = (2, 2)\), then $$ C' = (2 + 5, 2 + 4) = (7, 6) $$ - Suppose \(B = (0, 5)\), then $$ B' = (0 + 5, 5 + 4) = (5, 9) $$ **Answer:** - Coordinate for \(C'\) is \( (7, 6) \) - Coordinate for \(B'\) is \( (5, 9) \) **Translation rule for triangle ABC to A'B'C':** $$ (x, y) \to (x + 4, y + 5) $$ **Translation rule for quadrilateral QRST to Q'R'S'T':** $$ (x, y) \to (x + 5, y - 4) $$
