The longer base of an isosceles trapezoid joins points (-3, -2) and (7, -2). One endpoint of the shorter base is (-1, 4). What a
re the coordinates of the other endpoint?
Can you explain how to figure this out please.

Answer:
(5,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the longer base of an isosceles trapezoid joins points (-3, -2) and (7, -2), and one endpoint of the shorter base is (-1, 4).
The best way to find the coordinates of the other endpoint is to draw or sketch the figure on a coordinate grid.
From the graph in the attachment the coordinates of the other endpoints is (5,4).

Since the translation is 8 units right and 4 units down, we have to add 8 to the x coordinate and subtract 4 to the y coordinate.
R=(-2,1)
R' = (-2+8,1-4)= (6,-3)
R' = (6,-3)
