describe the translation that maps △def onto △jkl. translate △def units to form △jkl.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the horizontal movement

Look at the \(x -\)coordinates of corresponding vertices. For example, take vertex \(D(-3,4)\) and \(J(-1,4)\). The formula for horizontal translation is \(x_{new}=x_{old}+h\). Here, \(-1=-3 + h\), so \(h = 2\).

Answer:

Translate \(\triangle DEF\) \(2\) units to the right to form \(\triangle JKL\).
