Answer 1

To translate the vertex of shape HIJKL, specifically vertex H, 3 units to the left, you need to subtract 3 from the x-coordinate of H's original position.

However, the original coordinates of vertex H are not provided in your question. Let's denote the original coordinates of vertex H as (x, y). After translating it 3 units to the left, the new coordinates of vertex H' will be:

H' = (x - 3, y)

To determine which of the provided answers corresponds to H', you would need the original coordinates of H. However, with the following choices:

1. (−6, 6)
2. (−1, −2)
3. (2, 4)

You would check each option by adding 3 to the x-coordinate of each point to see if it corresponds to the original x-coordinate of vertex H.

For example:
- If the x-coordinate of H was −3, translating it 3 units left gives you (−6, y).
- If the x-coordinate of H was 2, translating it gives you (−1, y).
- If the x-coordinate of H was 5, translating gives you (2, y).

Without knowing the original coordinates, we can't pinpoint which of the given options is correct.

Please provide the original coordinates of vertex H, and I can help you determine the correct translated vertex H'.
