R(3, 2), S(5, -2), and T(6, 0) are the coordinates of a triangle's vertices. If the triangle is translated down 6 units, what are the coordinates of the image?

a R'(-3, 2), S'(-1, -2), T'(0, 0)
b R'(3, -4), S'(5, -8), T'(6, -6)
c R'(3, 8), S'(5, 4), T'(6, 6)
d R'(-3, -4), S'(-1, -8), T'(0, -6)

i dont understand the question? ?

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
