Answer:

triangle KLM

Explanation:

Take one point on the initial triangle and move it according to the given translation to locate the image. I used point G. Its coordinate plot is at

(2,3). I perform the operation of the given translation to this. (X1-X2, y1-y2).

So, (2-1, 3-8). The new coordinates will be (1,-5) and the only triangle with these coordinates is triangle KLM.

Answer with explanation:

The coordinates of vertices of Triangle,G H J are, G(2,3),J(5,3) and H(5,6).

Now,the vertices of triangle is translated by the rule

(x,y)→ (x-1,y-8)

That is Horizontally left by 1 unit and Vertically Down by 8 units.

G(2,3)→G'(2-1,3-8)=G'(1,-5)=K

J(5,3)→J'(5-1,3-8)=J'(4,-5)=M

H(5,6)→H'(5-1,6-8)=H'(4,-2)=L

→→Image of ΔG H J ,after translation is ΔK L M.
