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

• (1, -5)
• (-10, 6)
• (-5, 3)
• (6,-8)

Final answer:

Without the original coordinates of point L, the question cannot be accurately answered. A translation in the trapezoid requires adding 8 to the x-coordinate and subtracting 3 from the y-coordinate to find the new position of L'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves performing a translation of a point in a trapezoid using a given rule. To find the coordinates of point L' after applying the transformation rule (x,y) ➞ (x+8, y - 3), one must add 8 units to the x-coordinate and subtract 3 units from the y-coordinate of point L. Without the exact coordinates of point L, the question cannot be accurately answered. However, if point L were one of the given coordinates, the appropriate translation can be provided as follows:

  • (1, -5) would translate to (9, -8)
  • (-10, 6) would translate to (-2, 3)
  • (-5, 3) would translate to (3, 0)
  • (6,-8) would translate to (14, -11)

Since none of the transformations match the given options, the exact position of point L before translation would be needed to determine L'.
