�RST with vertices R (-2, -2) , S (-3, 1) , and T (1, 1) is translated by


(x, y) →
(x - 1, y + 3) . Then the image, �RST , is translated by

(x, y) →
(x + 4, y - 1) , resulting in �R "S"T ".
a. Find the coordinates for the vertices of �R "S"T ".

so we are doing:

(x,y) --->(x-1, y+3) ----> (x+4, y-1)

so for R(-2,-2)

(-2,-2) --->(-3, 1) ----> (1, 0)

do the same for the other points

(I am not sure why you have quotations around S and T in the final result. Are you saying that only S and T are transformed?
If so, then just apply the above to S and T, leaving R alone. If this had been my question , I would expect you to translate all 3 points, even have you graph the original, the intermediate and the final to show that congruency is maintained)

To find the coordinates for the vertices of RS'T', we first need to apply the translation (x, y) → (x - 1, y + 3) to the original triangle RST:

For point R (-2, -2):
x coordinate of R' = (-2) - 1 = -3
y coordinate of R' = (-2) + 3 = 1

For point S (-3, 1):
x coordinate of S' = (-3) - 1 = -4
y coordinate of S' = (1) + 3 = 4

For point T (1, 1):
x coordinate of T' = (1) - 1 = 0
y coordinate of T' = (1) + 3 = 4

So, the vertices of RS'T' are R'(-3, 1), S'(-4, 4), and T'(0, 4).

To find the coordinates for the vertices of �R "S"T ", we need to perform the translation step by step.

1. First, let's perform the translation given in the question: (x, y) → (x - 1, y + 3)

For vertex R(-2, -2):
The new coordinates for R will be:
x = -2 - 1 = -3
y = -2 + 3 = 1

So, the new coordinates for R are (-3, 1).

For vertex S(-3, 1):
The new coordinates for S will be:
x = -3 - 1 = -4
y = 1 + 3 = 4

So, the new coordinates for S are (-4, 4).

For vertex T(1, 1):
The new coordinates for T will be:
x = 1 - 1 = 0
y = 1 + 3 = 4

So, the new coordinates for T are (0, 4).

2. Next, let's perform the second translation: (x, y) → (x + 4, y - 1)

For vertex R(-3, 4):
The new coordinates for R will be:
x = -3 + 4 = 1
y = 4 - 1 = 3

So, the final coordinates for R in �R "S"T " are (1, 3).

For vertex S(-4, 4):
The new coordinates for S will be:
x = -4 + 4 = 0
y = 4 - 1 = 3

So, the final coordinates for S in �R "S"T " are (0, 3).

For vertex T(0, 4):
The new coordinates for T will be:
x = 0 + 4 = 4
y = 4 - 1 = 3

So, the final coordinates for T in �R "S"T " are (4, 3).

Therefore, the coordinates for the vertices of �R "S"T " are R(1, 3), S(0, 3), and T(4, 3).
