To translate the vertex \((-3, 5)\) up 6 units, you only need to adjust the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.
Starting with the vertex \((-3, 5)\):
1. The x-coordinate remains \(-3\).
2. The y-coordinate increases by 6: \(5 + 6 = 11\).
So, after the translation, the new coordinates of the vertex will be
\[
(-3, 11).
\]
