To determine the new coordinates of point D’ after triangle DEF is translated 6 units to the left, we need to subtract 6 from the x-coordinate of point D.

Given the coordinates of point D as (-5, 2):

1. Subtract 6 from the x-coordinate:

-5 – 6 = -11

2. The y-coordinate remains unchanged: 2.

So, the new coordinates of point D’ will be (-11, 2). However, as you provided options, it seems we need to check the nearest one that potentially assumes a misinterpretation or mistake elsewhere since none of the options include (-11, 2):

– (-5, 2)

– (1, 8)

– (1, -4)

– (7, 2)

None of these appear to result from the given translation directly. If you are looking for a point that could possibly be closer to a frequent mistake or further hinting, clarify the original coordinates of point D as they don’t correspond to the expected outcome.
