Answer:

A translation of triangle JKL left 8 units and up 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's identify the coordinates of triangle JKL and triangle MNP

J(7, -1), K(2, -4), and L(2, 2)

M(-1, 7), N(-6, 4), and P(-6, 10)

So, we can see that the coordinates of MNP are a translation of 8 units left and 8 units up because they are the result of the following rule

(x, y) ---> (x - 8, y + 8)

J(7, -1) ---> (7 - 8, -1 + 8) = M(-1, 7)

K(2, -4) ---> (2 - 8, -4 + 8) = N(-6, 4)

L(2, 2) ---> (2 - 8, 2 + 8) = P(-6, 10)

Therefore, the answer is:

A translation of triangle JKL left 8 units and up 8 units
