To translate the vertex of the triangle \((-3, 5)\) up by 6 units, you simply add 6 to the y-coordinate of the vertex.
Starting with the original coordinates:
\[
(-3, 5)
\]
After translating up 6 units, the new y-coordinate will be:
\[
5 + 6 = 11
\]
So, the new coordinates of the vertex after the translation will be:
\[
(-3, 11)
\]
If you were to graph this, you would plot the original point at \((-3, 5)\) and then move straight up to \((-3, 11)\). The new vertex would be located directly above the original point on the graph.
