Question

If trapezoid JKLM is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 2, y − 6), what are the coordinates of point L'?

Answer 1

Given a trapezoid JKLM with coordinates J(-7, -2), K(-4, -2), L(-2, -5) and M(-9, -5).

If trapezoid JKLM is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 2, y − 6) to get J'K'L'M', then the coordinates of point L' is given by L'(-2 + 2, -5 - 6) = L'(0, -11)

Therefore, the coordinate of point L' is (0, -11).
