ANSWER

Translation of 3 units left and 1 unit down

Step-by-step explanation

We are given figures K and L.

We can see by merely observing the graph that figure K was translated to result in figure L.

We need to know how many units the translation was.

To do this, let us pick one set of corresponding vertices from figures K and L:

(0, -3) on figure K and (-3, -4) on figure L.

We need to find the difference in the x and y cordinates to know how many units the translation (shift) was. That will be:

L(x , y) - K(x, y) = (-3, -4) - (0, -3)

= (-3 - 0, -4 -(-3)) = (-3, -4 + 3)

= (-3, -1)

This tells us that there was a negative shift on the x axis by 3 units and a negative shift on the y axis by 1 unit.

Therefore, the answer is:

Translation of 3 units left and 1 unit down
