The coordinate grid shows a pentagon. The pentagon is translated 1 unit to the left and 10 units down to create a new pentagon. Which rule describes this transformation?

• (x, y) → (x + 1, y − 10)

• (x, y) → (x − 1, y − 10)

• (x, y) → (x + 1, y + 10)

• (x, y) → (x − 1, y + 10)

Triangle MNP is graphed on a coordinate grid with vertices at M (−3, −6), N (0, 3) and P (6, −3). Triangle MNP is dilated by a scale factor of u with the origin as the center of dilation

to create triangle M′N′P′. Which ordered pair represents the coordinates of the vertex P′?

• (6u, −3u)

• 
• 
• (6 + u, −3 + u)

The table shows the number of gallons of gasoline in a car’s gas tank after the car has been driven x miles.

• Slope = 25, y-intercept = 375

• Slope = −25, y-intercept = 15

• Slope = −1/25, y-intercept = 15

• Slope = 1/25, y-intercept = 375
