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 (–11, –11). Find the translation rule and coordinates of U'.

Answer 1

The original coordinate of

R is (-5, -5)

The new coordinate of

R is (-11, -11)

The translation rule is ( x - 6, y - 6)

The original coordinate of

U is (-5, 1)

The new coordinate of

U is (-5 - 6, 1 - 6)

which is

(-11, -5)

U' = (-11, -5)

Answer 2

(x, y) --> (x – 6, y – 6); (–11, –5)

Explanation:

Subtract 6 from both the x and y coordinates of U to get (-11, -5).
