To determine whether the triangles ΔFGH and ΔIJK are similar, we need to assess their corresponding angles and sides based on the definitions of similarity in triangles.

Triangles are similar if:
1. Their corresponding angles are congruent (Angle-Angle, AA criterion).
2. Their corresponding sides are in proportion (Side-Side-Side, SSS criterion).

Since triangle FGH is drawn with a solid line in quadrant 2 and triangle JKI with a dotted line in quadrant 4, we cannot directly see their dimensions or angles without the image or additional information. However, based on the provided responses:

1. If there are adjustments to the coordinates of triangle J could potentially make the triangles similar, this suggests they may not currently be similar based on their original positions.
2. If it's confirmed that all angles in triangle FGH are congruent with all angles in triangle JKI, the triangles would be similar based on the AA criterion.
3. If all sides are proportional, they would also be similar based on SSS.

Among the responses provided, if both angles are found to be congruent or if all sides are proportional with no conditions on moving point J, then it indicates a direct relationship of similarity.

Considering this, if you are asked specifically to determine if the triangles are similar without additional conditions, and you confirm that the angles are congruent or sides are proportional, the best response would likely be:

- **Yes. All angles are congruent.**

or

- **Yes. All sides are proportional.**

If neither condition holds true currently, consider the statements regarding potential movements for J to make them similar, indicating that they might not be similar in their current state.
