Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Find the horizontal distance between corresponding points

Take point \(D(-3,4)\) and \(J(-1,4)\). The formula for horizontal distance between two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \(x_2 - x_1\). So, \(-1-(-3)=2\).

Step2: Check other corresponding points

Take point \(E(-3,-4)\) and \(K(-1,-4)\). Using the same formula \(x_2 - x_1=-1 - (-3)=2\).

Answer:

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