Question

The vertices of a rectangle are R(–5, –5), S(–1, –5), T(–1, 1), and U(–5, 1). After
translation, R′ is the point (0, 2). Find the translation rule and coordinates of U ′.
a. (x, y) → (x − 5, y − 7); (−10, − 6)
b. (x, y) → (x + 5, y − 7); (0, − 6)
c. (x, y) → (x − 5, y + 7); (−10, 8)
d. (x, y) → (x + 5, y + 7); (0, 8)

Answer 2

Please explain

Answer 3

Think about it. What needed to be done to make -5 turn to 0?

Answer 4

Subtraction..

Answer 5

actually, we would have to add 5 to it, because -5 + 5 = 0. get it?

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

so what needed to be done to -5 to get 2?

Answer 8

-3 - -5

Answer 9

errrr... well, the simpler way would be to add 7 to -5, which would give us 2. So since we added 5 to x, and 7 to y, which is the only choice that can be correct?

Answer 10

D

Answer 11

yup
