Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for grid
Required
Which places ABCD in a quadrant
<u>Considering vertical movements</u>
From the x-axis, the distance between each point and the line of the x-axis is (the y coordinates):
Considering the highest magnitudes in the positive and negative column, we have:
and
means that a upward movement by (4 + 1) units will move ABCD completely in a quadrant;
<em>Hence, 5 units upward -- This represents option (a)</em>
means that a downward movement by (7 + 1) units will move ABCD completely in a quadrant
<em>Hence, 8 units downward</em>
<em />
<u>Consider horizontal movements</u>
From the y-axis, the distance between each point and the line of the x-axis is (the x coordinates):
Considering the highest magnitudes in the positive and negative column, we have:
means that a left movement by (8 + 1) units will move ABCD completely in a quadrant;
<em>Hence, 9 units upward </em>
<em />
<em>(a) answers the question</em>
