Answer:

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

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation is reflection, rotation, dilation and translation.

Translation is the movement of a point either up, down, left or right on the coordinate plane. If a point A(x,y) is translated a units right and b units up, the new point is at A'(x + a, y + b) while a point A(x,y) is translated a units left and b units down, the new point is at A'(x - a, y - b).

Rhombus JKLM has vertices at J(-4,7), K(0,8), L(-1, 4), and M(-5,3). If a transformation of (x, y) ------> (x + 2, y - 2) is done, i.e. 2 units right and 2 units down, the new points would be at:

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