### Problem 2

The vertices of a rectangle are \(R(-5, -5)\), \(S(-1, -5)\), \(T(-1, 1)\), and \(U(-5, 1)\). After a translation, \(R'\) is the point \( (3, 0) \). Find the translation and coordinates of \(U'\).

[A] \(⟨8, -5⟩; (3, -4)\)

[B] \(⟨5, -8⟩; (0, -7)\)

[C] \(⟨-5, 8⟩; (-10, 9)\)

[D] \(⟨8, 5⟩; (3, 6)\)

**Answer:** _______________

---

**Explanation:**

1. Identify the coordinates of \(R\) before the translation: \( (-5, -5) \).
2. Identify the coordinates of \(R'\) after the translation: \( (3, 0) \).
3. Calculate the translation vector by finding the difference between the coordinates of \(R'\) and \(R\):
   \[
   \text{Translation vector} = (3 - (-5), 0 - (-5)) = (8, 5)
   \]
4. Apply the translation vector to point \(U(-5, 1)\) to get \(U'\):
   \[
   U' = (-5 + 8, 1 + 5) = (3, 6)
   \]
5. Confirm that the answer is option [D]:
   \[
   [D] \quad ⟨8, 5⟩; (3, 6)
   \]
