Answer:- The composition of translation is :

Translation: (x,y)→(x-2,y+2) [as the given piece moved 2 steps to the left and 2 steps upwards]

Translation:(x,y)→(x+2,y+2) [as the given piece moved 2 steps to the right and 2 steps upwards]

A single translation that moves the piece from its original position to its ending position is [ignoring the diagonal movement]

Translation:-(x,y)→(x,y-4)[as piece have to go 4 steps downwards]
