I NEED HELP PLEASE HELP Triangle STU is located at S (2, 1), T (2, 3), and U (0, −1). The triangle is then transformed using the rule (x−4, y+3) to form the image S'T'U'. What are the new coordinates of S', T', and U'?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

let's start with one of the points \(S\), with coordinates \((2,1)\) now the transformation wants you to apply \((x-4,y+3)\) or "left 4 units, up 3 units" ...so you get:\[(2-4,1+3)\rightarrow(-2,4)\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

basically you have three points, each with their own coordinate pair of \((x_{1},y_{1})\). you need to plug the x and y coordinates into their respective variables of \(x\) and \(y\) in the transformation \((x-4,y+3)\) and you will get your new image of \(S'T'U'\).

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

\((\color{red}{x_{1},y_{1}})\longleftrightarrow(\color{red}{x}-4,\color{red}{y}+3)\)

OpenStudy (taybabycakes):

Yes

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

you got it?

Im still working on it

HELP

OpenStudy (taybabycakes):

I'm not so good with math of any kind im better at reading and stuff

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

it's okay, take your time :)

OpenStudy (taybabycakes):

For point S, the new coordinates would be 2-4 and 1+3 S'(-2, 4) for point T, the new coordinates would be 2-4 and 3+3 T' (-2, 6)

OpenStudy (taybabycakes):

is that right O__O

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

sorry, was distracted by another question lol

OpenStudy (taybabycakes):

it's fine tyt :)

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

you got them right ☺

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

now what is \(U'\)?

OpenStudy (taybabycakes):

Umm

i'm not sure
