### Translation/Rotation Quiz: Educational Content

#### Question:
**Suppose △DEF is the image of a translation of △ABC. If D is at (-6, -2), what translation rule maps △ABC to △DEF?**

#### Graph Interpretation:
In the provided graph, triangles △ABC and △DEF are illustrated on a coordinate plane. The coordinates for triangle △ABC are as follows:
- \( A (1, 1) \)
- \( B (3, -1) \)
- \( C (2, -2) \)

The point \( D \) of triangle △DEF is given at coordinates (-6, -2). The task is to determine the translation rule (T) that maps △ABC to △DEF.

#### Answer Options:
A. \( T_{0, -2}\)(△ABC) = △DEF  
B. \( T_{6, -2}\)(△ABC) = △DEF  
C. \( T_{-9, 2}\)(△ABC) = △DEF  
D. \( T_{-9, -3}\)(△ABC) = △DEF  

**Steps for Finding the Correct Translation Rule:**
1. Calculate the vector from point \( A \) of △ABC to point \( D \) of △DEF.
   - Starting from \( A(1, 1) \) to \( D(-6, -2) \)
   - Translation vector: \( D - A = (-6 - 1, -2 - 1) = (-7, -3) \)

2. Apply the same translation vector to points \( B \) and \( C \) of △ABC:
   - For point \( B(3, -1) \): 
     - New coordinates: \( (3 - 7, -1 - 3) = (-4, -4) \)
   - For point \( C(2, -2) \): 
     - New coordinates: \( (2 - 7, -2 - 3) = (-5, -5) \)

3. Verify if these new coordinates correspond to points E and F of △DEF as per the given graph.

Based on the given answer choices, the closest match to the correct translation rule is:
\[ T_{-7, -3}\]

However, reviewing the given options, there might be a typographical error. The correct answer may not be explicitly listed among the
