To write the translation rule for quadrilateral D’E’F’G’ as a translation of quadrilateral DEF, we need to determine the specific shift applied to the vertices of DEF.

The translation rule can typically be expressed as:

[

(x, y) rightarrow (x + a, y + b)

]

where (a) and (b) are the horizontal and vertical shifts, respectively.

For example, if quadrilateral D’E’F’G’ is obtained by moving all points of DEF right by 3 units and up by 2 units, the translation rule would be:

[

(x, y) rightarrow (x + 3, y + 2)

]

Without specific coordinates of DEF and D’E’F’G’, I can’t provide exact values for (a) and (b), but you can apply this format to your specific situation! If you have more details about the vertices’ positions, feel free to share!
