Problem

8. Points R,S, and T have the coordinates R(5,9),S(15,3), and T(3,8). Together the points make a triangle. If the triangle was translated so that point R ended up at the coordinates (8,12) what would be the new coordinates of point S ?
(9,25)
(13,15)
(18,24)
(19,19)

Answer

So, the new coordinates of point S after the translation are (18,24).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the coordinates of points R and S as R(5,-9) and S(15,3) respectively.

Step 2 :Point R is translated to a new position (8,12).

Step 3 :We need to find the new coordinates of point S after the same translation.

Step 4 :The change in the x-coordinate from the original position of R to the new position is calculated as 85=3.

Step 5 :The change in the y-coordinate from the original position of R to the new position is calculated as 12(9)=21.

Step 6 :We apply the same changes to the coordinates of point S.

Step 7 :The new x-coordinate of point S is calculated as 15+3=18.

Step 8 :The new y-coordinate of point S is calculated as 3+21=24.

Step 9 :So, the new coordinates of point S after the translation are (18,24).
