In this question, we are given two locations of a military compound.

Let's take the coordinates of point A from the graph,

A = (-3, 2)

The new coordinates of A' = (5, 13)

translation in x-axis = 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8

translation in y-axis = 13 - 2 = 11

hence, each point of the figure will be translated to 8 units on the x-axis and 11 units on the y-axis.
