How do you apply a transition to only specific elements?

In the code below (which was written in this lesson), I don't want the transition to be applied to the second css rule. How can I re-write this so the transition is applied only to the last two rules?

.slide .photo-overlay, .slide img { transition: transform 600ms ease-out; }

.slide .photo-overlay { transform: translateX(-100%); }

.slide:hover .photo-overlay { transform: translateX(0); }

.slide:hover img { transform: translateX(100%); }

It's the same elements, they're just in different states (like "hover"). The solution is to re-write the selectors for the transition so they include the state:

.slide:hover .photo-overlay,
.slide:hover img { transition: transform 600ms ease-out; }
