Question

describe the translation that maps (\triangle def) onto (\triangle jkl). translate (\triangle def) units to form (\triangle jkl).

Explanation:

Step1: Find the horizontal change

Take a corresponding pair of points, say \(D(-3,4)\) and \(J(-1,4)\). The formula for horizontal change (\(\Delta x\)) is \(x_{J}-x_{D}\).
\(\Delta x=-1 - (-3)=2\)

Step2: Verify with another pair of points

Take \(E(-3,-5)\) and \(K(-1,-5)\). Using the formula \(x_{K}-x_{E}\), we have \(-1-(-3) = 2\).

Answer:

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