Writing rules for the translation of points in the plane

[Andrew]

Hey, guys! I'm on the last 3 questions on my homework. Can someone give me an explanation to solve? I would appreciate it.

The directions read: Write a rule for each translation. Then, write the coordinates for each image.

9. Point W is (-6,3). Write a rule that results in Point W ' to be (-4,2).

10. Point A is (-8,0). Write a rule that results in Point A ' to be located halfway between Point A and the origin.

11. Triangle RST has vertices R(4,2) S(-8,0) and T(-8,0). When translated, R ' has coordinates (-2,4). Write a rule for the translation, and find the coordinates for S ' and T

Thanks!
