26. Points $R, S$, and $T$ have the coordinates $R(-4,2), S(-14,10)$, and $T(2,23)$. Together the points make a triangle. If the triangle was translated so that point $R$ ended up at the coordinates $(-19,14)$ what would be the new coordinates of hoint $S$ ?
$(-21,19)$
$(-35,30)$
$(-29,22)$
$(-32,16)$
Final Answer: The new coordinates of point S after the translation are \(\boxed{(-29, 22)}\).
Step 1 :The problem is asking for the new coordinates of point S after a translation that moves point R from (-4,2) to (-19,14).
Step 2 :To find the new coordinates of point S, we need to determine the change in the x and y coordinates that resulted from the translation of point R and apply the same change to the coordinates of point S.
Step 3 :The change in the x-coordinate from the translation of point R is \(-19 - (-4) = -15\). The change in the y-coordinate from the translation of point R is \(14 - 2 = 12\).
Step 4 :So, to find the new coordinates of point S, we subtract 15 from its x-coordinate and add 12 to its y-coordinate.
Step 5 :Let's calculate: S = (-14, 10), delta_x = -15, delta_y = 12, new_S = (-29, 22)
Step 6 :Final Answer: The new coordinates of point S after the translation are \(\boxed{(-29, 22)}\).
