<span>(x, y)→(x − 8, y − 7) is the correct translation. Take point D for example. The coordinate of D is (2, 5). The coordinate of D' (after translation) is (-6, -2). Since 2-8=-6, 5-7=-2, only the first choice is correct. You can also try other points and see why only this is the right translation.</span>
If you were to make your own measurements, your significant digits should include all of the measurable digits (the digits that correspond to the marks on the ruler) as well as one estimated position beyond the smallest measureable digit (the 5 in 3.5 cm, and the 2 in 3.52 cm).
Just like you round to the rearst whole number 4 and below gose down 5 and up gose up
<span>RS= 8y + 4, ST = 4y + 8, and RT = 36
RS + ST = RT
</span>8y + 4 + 4y + 8 = 36
12y + 12 = 36
12y = 24
y = 2
answer
y = 2 (first choice)
