A trapezoid is drawn on a grid with vertices at P(-5, 7), Q(-2, 7), R(2, 3), and S(-8, 3) . Trapezoid UVWX will be drawn similar to Trapezoid PQRS with side PQ corresponding to side UV. The point (-2, -1) will be the location of vertex U and point (7, -1) will be the location of point V.

What will be the coordinates of vertex X? Show all your work or explain your reasoning.
