Answer 1

To find the vertices of the triangle after the translation, we need to apply the translation of moving 4 units to the right and 2 units down to each vertex of the triangle.

The original vertices of the triangle are:

1. A (4, 3)
2. B (8, 3)
3. C (7, 5)

Translation rules:

• Moving to the right means we add to the x-coordinate.
• Moving down means we subtract from the y-coordinate.

Now we will apply these translations to each vertex:

1. Vertex A (4, 3):

   • New x-coordinate: \(4 + 4 = 8\)
   • New y-coordinate: \(3 - 2 = 1\)
   • Translated vertex A: (8, 1)

2. Vertex B (8, 3):

   • New x-coordinate: \(8 + 4 = 12\)
   • New y-coordinate: \(3 - 2 = 1\)
   • Translated vertex B: (12, 1)

3. Vertex C (7, 5):

   • New x-coordinate: \(7 + 4 = 11\)
   • New y-coordinate: \(5 - 2 = 3\)
   • Translated vertex C: (11, 3)

So, the translated vertices of the triangle are:

• (8, 1)
• (12, 1)
• (11, 3)

Thus, the correct response is:

(8, 1), (12, 1), and (11, 3).
