Answer:
They will be picked up at 2 yards above sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider sea level as reference and positions above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.
With respect to this reference,
the position of top most point is +17 yards
and the position of lower most point is -13 yards
⇒ The position of midpoint is
= +2
∴ <u>They will be picked up at 2 yards above sea level</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to translate all the points to the right 3 and up 6
Therefore, you are going to use this formula:
(x,y) ⇾ (x + 3, y + 6)
This is the same format as the previous problem, if you have noticed.
Using this, plug in each coordinate, starting with P (5, -1)
(5, -1) ⇾ ( 5 + 3, -1 + 6)
(5, -1) ⇾ ( 8, 5 )
P = (8, 5)
Now point Q, (0, 8)
(0, 8) ⇾ (0 + 3, 8 + 6)
(0, 8) ⇾ ( 3, 14 )
Q = (3, 14)
And last but not least, the point R, (7, 5)
(7, 5) ⇾ (7 + 3, 5 + 6)
(7, 5) ⇾ ( 10, 11 )
R = (10, 11)
Therefore, P = (8, 5), Q
= (3, 14), R
= (10, 11) is your answer. This is the 4th option or D.
Hope this for you to understand this a bit more! =D
