Answer:
<-7,-3>
Step-by-step explanation:
To write RS in component form we need to know how far to move over horizontally and then how many to move vertically.
Since horizontal movement is the x values, we subtract the x values of R and S first.
0 - 7 = -7
Since vertical movement is in the y values we subtract those next.
5 - 8 = -3
So written in component form we have <-7,-3>
So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.

you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.
then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.
