The value of LM = 6.

Let's break down the given transformations for each point:

1. Original point:
\( (x, y) \)

2. First transformation:
\( (x+3, y-2) \)

3. Second transformation:
\( \left((2)/(3)(x+3),
(2)/(3)(y-2)\right) \)

Now, if CD = 9 in the original triangle, LM can be found using the scale factor of
\( (2)/(3) \), as the second transformation involves scaling by
\( (2)/(3) \).


\[ LM = (2)/(3) * CD \]\\LM = (2)/(3) * 9 \]\\LM = 6 \]

Therefore, LM = 6.
