Answer:
slope = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 5 )
m = 
= 
= -
1.
The first transformation, the translation 4 units down, can be described with the following symbols:
(x, y) → (x, y-4).
as the points are shifted 4 units vertically, down. Thus the x-coordinates of the points do not change.
A'(1, 1) → A"(1, 1-4)=A"(1, -3).
B'(2, 3) → B"(2, 3-4)=B"(2, -1).
C'(5, 0) → C"(5, 0-4)=C"(5, -4).
2.
The second transformation can be described with:
(x, y) → (x, -y).
as a reflection with respect to the x-axis maps:
for example, (5, -7) to (5, 7), or (-3, -4) to (-3, 4)
thus, under this transformation A", B", C" are mapped to A', B' and C' as follows:
A"(1, -3)→A'(1, -(-3))=A'(1, 3)
B"(2, -1)→B'(2, -(-1))=B'(2, 1)
C"(5, -4)→C'(5, -(-4))=C'(5, 4)
Answer:
A'(1, 3), B'(2, 1), C'(5, 4)
