A quadrilateral has the following vertices J (-1,4), K (2, 4), L (-1,1), M (2,1). After a translation, the image of the quadrilateral has these vertices J (-3,-1), K (0,-1), L(-3,-4), M(0,-4). Describe the translation needed to move quadrilateral JKLM to its new image. Please help

  2 left, 5 down

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation (right, up) is the difference of the coordinates:

  J'(-3, -1) -J(-1, 4) = (-3+1, -1-4) = (-2, -5)

The image has been translated left 2 and down 5.

Additional comment

A negative distance "right" is a positive distance "left". Likewise, a negative distance "up" is a positive distance down.
