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 UV corresponding to side PQ. The point (2, -2) will be the location of vertex U and point (8, -2) will be the location of point V.

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

i dont think this question is very clear but seeing that it says the two Trapezoids r drawn similarly  im assuming that means the have the same shape and angles, along wit this, seeing that UV is twice the size as PQ i can also assume that  UVWX is twice as big

Honestly, I think this question is too unclear so under these assumptions i can attempt it but i want ur ok cause it's a bit of work before u tell me wether u r ok with it or u want a sure answer.

I really didn't understand the question myself much either.

This is wat ik for sure but UVWX can look like any thing example
