Transcribed Image Text:**Reflection and Translation of Triangle PQR**
Triangle \( PQR \) is reflected across the line \( y = 0 \). The image is then translated 5 units to the right, resulting in \( \triangle STU \).
**Coordinate Plane Explanation:**
- **Triangle \( PQR \):**
- Vertex \( P \) is located at approximately (-5, 2).
- Vertex \( Q \) is located at approximately (-3, 6).
- Vertex \( R \) is located at approximately (-2, 3).
- **Reflection Process:**
- The vertices of triangle \( PQR \) are reflected over the x-axis (line \( y = 0 \)).
- Reflected coordinates are:
- \( P' \) at (-5, -2)
- \( Q' \) at (-3, -6)
- \( R' \) at (-2, -3)
- **Translation Process:**
- Each point of the reflected triangle is moved 5 units to the right.
- Final coordinates are:
- \( S \) at (0, -2)
- \( T \) at (2, -6)
- \( U \) at (3, -3)
**Multiple Choice Statements:**
A. \( PQ = ST \)
B. \( PQ = TU \)
C. \( m \angle R = m \angle U \)
D. \( m \angle P = m \angle U \)
Select all statements that apply after the reflection and translation processes have been completed.
**Further Analysis:**
- Make sure to check the lengths and angles of the subsequent triangle \( \triangle STU \) to verify the equality of sides or angles as per the given statements.
