Question

Trapezoid JKLM is shown on the coordinate plane below:

If trapezoid JKLM is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 8, y − 3), what are the coordinates of point L'?

a. (1, −5)
b.(−10, 6)
c.(−5, 3)
d. (6, −8)

Answer 1

The correct option is d. (6, −8)

Explanation:

In provided figure trapezoid is JKLM and vertices of L is (-2,-5)

Given trapezoid JKLM is translated according to the rule:

(x, y) → (x + 8, y − 3)

The coordinates of point L' are:

According to translated rule (x, y) → (x + 8, y − 3)

put (-2, -5) in above translation,

(-2, -5) → (-2 + 8, -5 − 3)=(6, -8)

Hence, solution is (6, -8)

Therefore, the correct option is d. (6, −8)

Answer 2

trapezoid JKLM is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 8, y − 3)
the coordinates of point L' are
(-2, -5) → (-2 + 8, -5 − 3)
(6, -8)
the answer is
d. (6, −8)
