QuestionWrite the coordinates of the vertices after a translation 7 units down.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to shift each point downwards by 7 units and write their new coordinates! Watch out! Don't accidentally shift the points upwards or sideways!
We're only moving them *down*.

STEP 2

1. Shift Point R
2. Shift Point Q
3. Shift Point S

STEP 3

Our **initial** point R is at (4,4)(-4, 4).
Since we're translating downwards, we only need to change the y-coordinate.
Remember, moving down means *subtracting* from the y-coordinate.

STEP 4

So, we take our **initial** y-coordinate, which is 44, and subtract 77 from it: 47=34 - 7 = -3.
Our new y-coordinate is 3-3!

STEP 5

The x-coordinate stays the same, so our **new** point R' is at (4,3)(-4, -3).
Awesome!

STEP 6

Point Q starts at (4,2)(-4, 2).
Again, we're moving down, so we'll subtract 77 from the y-coordinate.

STEP 7

We have 27=52 - 7 = -5.
So, our new y-coordinate is 5-5!

STEP 8

Keeping the x-coordinate the same, our **new** point Q' is at (4,5)(-4, -5).
Fantastic!

STEP 9

Point S begins at (5,3)(5, 3).
Let's shift it down by 77 units.

STEP 10

Taking the y-coordinate, 33, and subtracting 77, we get 37=43 - 7 = -4.
Our new y-coordinate is 4-4!

STEP 11

The x-coordinate remains unchanged, giving us the **new** point S' at (5,4)(5, -4).
Wonderful!

STEP 12

Our translated points are R' at (4,3)(-4, -3), Q' at (4,5)(-4, -5), and S' at (5,4)(5, -4).
