Question
A triangle with a vertex (−3, 5)
is translated up 6 units. What are the coordinates of this vertex after it is translated? Draw a graph if necessary.(1 point)

Answer 1

To translate the vertex of the triangle (−3, 5) up 6 units, you only need to add 6 to the y-coordinate:

\[
y_{\text{new}} = y_{\text{old}} + 6
\]

So:

\[
y_{\text{new}} = 5 + 6 = 11
\]

The x-coordinate remains the same:

\[
x_{\text{new}} = -3
\]

Therefore, after the translation, the new coordinates of the vertex will be:

\[
(-3, 11)
\]

So, the coordinates of the vertex after it is translated up 6 units are \((-3, 11)\).
