Question

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.

Answer 1

Anyone Please

Answer 2

it's (20, -10).

Answer 3

How?

Answer 4

@anas2000 make sure you don't give the answer right away it violates the OS code of conduct.

sorry jamierox

Answer 7

So How do you do this?

Answer 8

lol its okay just be careful, you could get in trouble

Answer 9

Jamie how do you do it?

Answer 10

just draw graphs with the coordinates provided and see where the similaritieis lie

Answer 11

from there, figure out the distance. you can do this using the distance formula or by creating ratios.

Answer 12

How do you create ratios I forgot

Answer 13

ratios are in the form of fractions like this \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Answer 14

I know but do I get the slope?
