Answer:

b. T <7,-2> (RSTU); (2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has vertices R(-5, -5), S(-1,-5), T(-1,1) and U(-5,1).

Let the translation rule be T(a,b).

Then the mapping for the translation will be;

[tex](x,y)\to (x+a,y+b)[/tex]

Then the point R(-5,-5) has the image;

[tex]R(-5,-5)\to R'(-5+a,-5+b)=R'(2,-7)[/tex]

This implies that;

[tex]-5+a=2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrowa=2+5=7[/tex]

and

[tex]-5+b=-7[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow b=-7+5[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow b=-2[/tex]

Therefore the translation rule is T(7,-2)

Hence;

[tex]U(-5,1)\to U'(-5+7,1-2)=U'(2,-1)[/tex]

the correct choice is B.
