Answer: 10, 100

Explanation:

Magnitudes are based on a logarithmic scale (base 10). For each whole number you go up, the amplitude of the ground motion recorded by a seismograph goes up ten times. Using this scale, a magnitude 5 earthquake would result in ten times the level of ground shaking as a magnitude 4 earthquake (and 32 times as much energy would be released).

1 unit increase corresponds to 10 fold increase in magnitude.

Answer:

1. (x-4), (y+4)

2. In a transformation, the equation shows how much the original coordinate moves. In the equation above, the orignal coordinate would move to the left 4 places, and then up 4 places. This particular transformation is called a translation, as the shape is the same but only in a different spot.

3. Quadrilateral

4. The transformed polygon has the apostrophes after each letter, which means it is "prime" or not the original.

Explanation:

1. To write the equation, look at how the shape shifts. If the x coordinate moved 4 spaces to the left, then that means the equation is -4. Do the same for the y-coordinate, except keep in mind it is up and down instead of left or right.

2. The answer is self-explanatory.

3. A quadrilateral has 4 sides, and this can be applied to more specific shapes, such as a square or rectangle. Because this shape has no distinctive features, it is safest to call it a quadrilateral.

4. The answer is self-explanatory.
