QUESTION ABOUT ROTATIONS!

OpenStudy (happpily):

the vertices of a rectangle are R(-5 -5) S(-1,-5) and U(-5,1). after translation, R' is the point (-11,-11). Find the translation rule and coordinates of U'.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So R is changing from (-5, -5) --> (-11, -11)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u write out the rule for translation ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its getting subtracted by 6 right ? (-5, -5) --> (-5-6, -5-6)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so can we say the rule is : (x, y) --> (x-6, y-6) ?

OpenStudy (happpily):

yes :3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, apply this rule on point U

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

U(-5,1) --> (?, ?)

OpenStudy (happpily):

(x-5,x-1) ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

not quite, the rule is : (x, y) --> (x-6, y-6) so, (-5, 1) -->(-5-6, 1-6)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplifying u get : (-5, 1) -->(-11, -5)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so U changes from (-5, 1) to (-11, -5)

OpenStudy (happpily):

ohohohoh okay

OpenStudy (happpily):

Thank you so much!
