#"the new end points are:"A'(7,19),B'(-1,11)#

#"length of the new line segment is :"8sqrt 2#

#"1- draw Point objects A(4,7),B(2,5),D(3,3) and line segment"#

#"2-find the new location of the Point B"#

enter image source here

#x=3-1*4=3-4=-1#

#y=3+2*4=3+8=11#

#"the new location of B is "B'(-1,11)#

#"3-find the new location of A" #

enter image source here

#x=3+1*4=3+4=7#

#y=3+4*4=3+16=19#

#A'(7,19)#

#"4-draw the new line segment "A'(7,19),B'(-1,11)#

#"length of the new line segment :"#

enter image source here

#A'B'=sqrt((19-11)^2+(7+1)^2)#

#A'B'=sqrt(8^2+8^2)#

#A'B'=sqrt(64+64)#

#A'B'=8sqrt2#
