Question

The vertices of a rectangle are R(–5, –5), S(–1, –5), T(–1, 1), and U(–5, 1). A translation maps R to the point (–4, 2). Find the translation rule and the image of U.

Answer 1

we're going from (–5, –5) to (-4,2)

Answer 2

so what's the translation rule?

Answer 3

I dont know

Answer 4

plot the two points and see how you would get from (-5,-5) to (-4, 2)

Answer 5

let me know if you're able to get anywhere

Answer 6

T <1, -3> RSTU; -4, -6 ?????

Answer 7

you do go 1 unit to the right, but you do not go 3 units down

Answer 8

Take the ending value and subtract the starting value to get the transformation:
x: -4 - (-5) =-4 + 5 = +1
y: 2 - (-5) = 2 + 5 =

Answer 9

If you plot the original shape, and the translated value of R, it's pretty easy to check your work.
