(a)

The diagram shows a sketch of triangle A and triangle B on a coordinate grid.

Coordinate grid with two triangles. Triangle A has vertices at (-11,-5), (-7,2), (f,-3). Triangle B has vertices at (6,12), (9,e), (2,d). Diagram not to scale.

Given that triangle A has been translated to give triangle B, work out the value of $d$ , the value of $e$ and the value of $f$
