Question

Triangle POR has vertices P(-2,6), O(2,-8), and R(x, -2). It is translated according to the rule (x,y)→(x−2,y−16). What is the y-value of P?

a) 0
b) -10
c) -12
d) -14

Answer 1

The y-value of point P is b) -10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-value of point P, we need to look at the coordinates of point P before and after the translation.

The original y-value of point P is 6.

After the translation rule (x,y)→(x−2,y−16) is applied, the y-coordinate becomes 6 - 16 = -10.

Therefore, the answer is (b) -10.
