Coordinates of the vertices of JKL

J = (-5,-2)
K = (-3, -6)
L = (-1, -6)

Translation two units left => new x-coordinate = original x-coordinate - 2 and y-coordinate does not change.

J' = (-7,-2)
k' = (-5,-6)
L' = (-3,-6)

Answer:  The co-ordinates of the vertices of ΔJ'K'L' are J'(-7, -2), K'(-5, -6) and L'(-3, -6).

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to write the write the co-ordinates of the vertices of ΔJ'K'L' that results from a translation of ΔJKL two units to the left.

As shown in the given figure, the co-ordinates of the vertices of ΔJKL are

J(-5, -2), K(-3, -6) and L(-1, -6).

If ΔJKL is translated two units to the left, then the 'x' co-ordiante of each vertex of ΔJKL is decreased by 2 units.

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the vertices of ΔJ'K'L' are

J'(-5-2, -2) = J'(-7, -2),

K'(-3-2, -6) = K'(-5, -6),

L'(-1-2, -6) = L'(-3, -6).

Thus, the co-ordinates of the vertices of ΔJ'K'L' are J'(-7, -2), K'(-5, -6) and L'(-3, -6).
