Question

The vertices of a rectangle are...

Answer 1

focus on the point R which is getting translated from:
\[R ( -5, -5) \rightarrow R' (-7, -8) \]
So look at your x value first.
From x= -5 it went to x = -7,
From y = -5, it went to y = -8

Can you find the rule?

Answer 2

yeeee no.. I'm sorry

Answer 3

in other words, what does\[-7 - (-5) = -7 + 5 = ?\]

Answer 4

let's try a different approach then.
Does -5 + 2 = -7 or does -5 - 2 = -7 ?

Answer 5

The second one no?

Answer 6

correct! :)
-5 - 2 = -7
Notice how our ORIGINAL x-coordinate was -5 and AFTER the translation the x-coordinate was -7?
This means the rule for the "x" part was x - 2

Answer 7

Now we want to focus on the y part.
Originally y = -5, after the translation y = -8
So,
-5 - 3 = -8 ?
or -5 + 3 = -8 ?

Answer 8

the first one

Answer 9

yes so your rule for the "y" part is y - 3

so now you have your answer
