1. **State the problem:**
(a) Translate triangle T by the vector $\begin{pmatrix}0 \\ -2\end{pmatrix}$.
(b) Describe the single transformation that maps triangle T onto triangle U.
(c) Solve the equations:
(i) $8x + 7 = 39$
(ii) $2(5y - 1) = 24$
2. **Translation of triangle T by vector $(0, -2)$:**
Translation means moving every point of the triangle down by 2 units (since the vector is $0$ in $x$ and $-2$ in $y$).
3. **Coordinates of triangle T vertices:**
Given approximately as $(-3,1)$, $(-2,1)$, and $(-3,2)$.
4. **Apply translation:**
Each vertex $(x,y)$ becomes $(x, y - 2)$.
- $(-3,1) \to (-3, 1 - 2) = (-3, -1)$
- $(-2,1) \to (-2, 1 - 2) = (-2, -1)$
- $(-3,2) \to (-3, 2 - 2) = (-3, 0)$
5. **Compare with triangle U vertices:**
Triangle U vertices are approximately $(2,-1)$, $(3,-2)$, and $(1,-2)$.
6. **Describe the single transformation mapping T onto U:**
The translation alone does not map T onto U because the translated T vertices are $(-3,-1)$, $(-2,-1)$, $(-3,0)$, which do not match U.
Observing the positions, triangle U is a reflection and translation of T.
7. **Check reflection:**
Reflect triangle T across the $y$-axis:
- $(-3,1) \to (3,1)$
- $(-2,1) \to (2,1)$
- $(-3,2) \to (3,2)$
Then translate down by 3 units:
- $(3,1) \to (3, -2)$
- $(2,1) \to (2, -2)$
- $(3,2) \to (3, -1)$
These points are close to U's vertices $(2,-1)$, $(3,-2)$, $(1,-2)$ but not exact.
Alternatively, the transformation is a rotation of 180 degrees about the origin:
- $(-3,1) \to (3,-1)$
- $(-2,1) \to (2,-1)$
- $(-3,2) \to (3,-2)$
Then translate left by 1 unit:
- $(3,-1) \to (2,-1)$
- $(2,-1) \to (1,-1)$
- $(3,-2) \to (2,-2)$
This matches U's vertices approximately.
Hence, the single transformation is a rotation of 180 degrees about the origin followed by a translation of $(-1,0)$.
8. **Solve (a) $8x + 7 = 39$:**
Subtract 7 from both sides:
$$8x + 7 - 7 = 39 - 7$$
$$8x = 32$$
Divide both sides by 8:
$$\cancel{8}x = \frac{32}{\cancel{8}}$$
$$x = 4$$
9. **Solve (b) $2(5y - 1) = 24$:**
Divide both sides by 2:
$$\cancel{2}(5y - 1) = \frac{24}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$5y - 1 = 12$$
Add 1 to both sides:
$$5y - 1 + 1 = 12 + 1$$
$$5y = 13$$
Divide both sides by 5:
$$\cancel{5}y = \frac{13}{\cancel{5}}$$
$$y = \frac{13}{5} = 2.6$$
**Final answers:**
(a) Translated triangle T vertices: $(-3,-1)$, $(-2,-1)$, $(-3,0)$.
(b) Single transformation mapping T onto U: rotation of 180 degrees about the origin followed by translation by $(-1,0)$.
(c) $x = 4$
(d) $y = \frac{13}{5}$ or $2.6$
