Question

write a coordinate rule for the composition (the blue preimage to the green image).
(x,y)→(□,□)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of preimage points

First, find the coordinates of the blue preimage vertices. Let's take point \( L \): from the graph, \( L \) is at \( (4, 8) \), \( M \) at \( (8, 8) \), \( N \) at \( (16, 4) \). Now, find the coordinates of the green image vertices. Let's take point \( Q \), \( R \), \( S \). Wait, maybe it's a translation. Let's check the horizontal and vertical shifts. Let's take \( L(4,8) \) to \( Q \)? Wait, maybe the green figure is a translation of the blue figure. Wait, maybe the blue figure is being translated. Wait, let's check the coordinates. Wait, maybe the blue figure is moved left and down. Wait, let's take \( L(4,8) \). Suppose the green figure's corresponding point (let's assume \( Q \) corresponds to \( L \)): looking at the graph, \( Q \) seems to be at \( (0, -4) \)? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the blue figure is in the upper right, green in lower left. Let's calculate the translation. Let's take \( L(4,8) \). Let's see the green figure: maybe \( Q \) is \( (4 - 4, 8 - 12) = (0, -4) \)? Wait, no, maybe better to find the shift. Let's take \( L(4,8) \), suppose the image is \( (x - 4, y - 12) \)? Wait, no, maybe the green figure is a scaled or translated? Wait, maybe it's a translation. Let's check the coordinates. Wait, the blue triangle has vertices \( L(4,8) \), \( M(8,8) \), \( N(16,4) \). The green figure has vertices, say, \( Q(0, -4) \), \( R(4, -4) \), \( S(12, -8) \)? Wait, no, maybe the translation is \( (x - 4, y - 12) \). Wait, let's check \( L(4,8) \): \( 4 - 4 = 0 \), \( 8 - 12 = -4 \), which would be \( (0, -4) \), which matches \( Q \) if \( Q \) is \( (0, -4) \). \( M(8,8) \): \( 8 - 4 = 4 \), \( 8 - 12 = -4 \), so \( (4, -4) \), which is \( R \). \( N(16,4) \): \( 16 - 4 = 12 \), \( 4 - 12 = -8 \), which would be \( S(12, -8) \). So the translation rule is \( (x, y) \to (x - 4, y - 12) \). Wait, let's confirm. Alternatively, maybe the scale? No, the shape looks similar, maybe translation. So the coordinate rule is subtracting 4 from x and 12 from y.

Step2: Formulate the coordinate rule

From the preimage coordinates to image coordinates, the horizontal shift (x - 4) and vertical shift (y - 12). So the rule is \( (x, y) \to (x - 4, y - 12) \).

Answer:

\( (x - 4, y - 12) \)
