Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: option d. C (0,3), D (0,5).
Justification:
1) The x - coordinates of the vertices A and B are shown in the diagrama, They are both - 4, so the new vertices C and D must be in a line parallel to y = - 4.
2) The y-coordinates of the vertices A and B are also shown in the diagrama. They are equal to 3 and 5 respectively.
3) We can see that the new points C and D must be over a parallel line to y = - 4 and that their distance to the points A and B has to be the same distance of the point R and S to U and T.
That distance is 4, so the line may be y = - 7 or y = 0.
4) If the line is y = 7 the points C and D would have coordinates (-7,3) and (-7,5), but this points are not among the options.
5) If the line is y = 0 the points C and D would have coordinates (0, 3) and (0,5), which is precisely the points of the option d. That is the answer.
One reason that negative numbers would not make sense for values of the variables is that the solution having a negative value is not valid. It might be that the expression represents a real word problem and a negative value will not make any sense. Hope this helps.
