  1. Use the graph below. Write three different translation rules for which the image of cap delta j k l  has a vertex at the origin.

    A graph of triangle JKL has vertices J(negative 4, 4), K(negative 4, 1), and L(negative 1, 1).

Find a translation that has the same effect as each composition of translations.
