To translate the triangle with vertices (−3, 2), (0, 5), and (4, 2) 3 units up, we need to add 3 to the y-coordinate of each vertex.

  1. For the vertex (−3, 2):

    • New vertex: (−3, 2 + 3) = (−3, 5)
  2. For the vertex (0, 5):

    • New vertex: (0, 5 + 3) = (0, 8)
  3. For the vertex (4, 2):

    • New vertex: (4, 2 + 3) = (4, 5)

So the new vertices after the translation are (−3, 5), (0, 8), and (4, 5).

Therefore, the correct response is: (−3, 5), (0, 8), and (4, 5).
