Answer 1

To perform a translation of a triangle (or any figure) 3 units to the left, you need to subtract 3 from the x-coordinates of each vertex of the triangle.

However, you haven't provided the original coordinates of the vertices $I$, $J$, and $K$. If you provide those coordinates, I can help you find the new coordinates after the translation.

Let’s say the original coordinates were:

• $I(x_1,y_1)$
• $J(x_2,y_2)$
• $K(x_3,y_3)$

After translating 3 units to the left, the new coordinates would be:

• $I^{\prime }(x_1-3,y_1)$
• $J^{\prime }(x_2-3,y_2)$
• $K^{\prime }(x_3-3,y_3)$

Please provide the original coordinates for a specific solution.
