**Rotation and Translation of Triangles**

In the diagram shown, triangle \( \triangle JKL \) has been rotated 270° counterclockwise about point \( J \), resulting in triangle \( \triangle J'K'L' \). 

**Graph Explanation:**
- The graph is a coordinate plane with the x-axis and y-axis ranging from -8 to 8.
- The original triangle \( \triangle JKL \) has the following coordinates: \( J (1, 2) \), \( K (4, 1) \), and \( L (4, 4) \).
- After the rotation, the new triangle \( \triangle J'K'L' \) is formed at the coordinates: \( J' (1, 2) \), \( K' (2, -1) \), and \( L' (-1, -1) \).
- A second triangle \( \triangle RST \) is shown in red, with coordinates \( R (2, -3) \), \( S (5, -4) \), and \( T (5, -7) \).

**Translation Task:**
The task is to determine the rule that will translate triangle \( \triangle J'K'L' \) onto triangle \( \triangle RST \).

**Graph Elements:**
- Points are represented as filled circles.
- Vectors connect the vertices of each triangle.
- \(\triangle JKL\) and \(\triangle J'K'L'\) are in black, while \(\triangle RST\) is in red.

**Interactive Components:**
- There are dropdown menus below the graph to select transformation rules for both x and y coordinates.

**Problem-Solving Strategy:**
To find the translation rule, observe the horizontal and vertical shifts needed to align corresponding points of \( J' \) with \( R \), \( K' \) with \( S \), and \( L' \) with \( T \). Analyze changes in x and y coordinates accordingly.
