A coordinate system has a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis each labeled from negative 6 to 6 in increments of 1. A black triangle has the following vertices: (negative 1, negative 3), (1, 1), (2, negative 5). A blue triangle has the following vertices: (negative 4, 1), (negative 2, 5), (negative 1, negative 1).

To describe the translation from the black triangle to the blue triangle, we'll find the horizontal and vertical shifts for the x and y coordinates of the vertices.

The given vertices of the black triangle are:
1. \((-1, -3)\)
2. \((1, 1)\)
3. \((2, -5)\)

The corresponding vertices of the blue triangle are:
1. \((-4, 1)\)
2. \((-2, 5)\)
3. \((-1, -1)\)

Now we will calculate the translation for each vertex:

1. From \((-1, -3)\) to \((-4, 1)\):
- Change in x: \(-4 - (-1) = -4 + 1 = -3\)
- Change in y: \(1 - (-3) = 1 + 3 = 4\)

2. From \((1, 1)\) to \((-2, 5)\):
- Change in x: \(-2 - 1 = -3\)
- Change in y: \(5 - 1 = 4\)

3. From \((2, -5)\) to \((-1, -1)\):
- Change in x: \(-1 - 2 = -3\)
- Change in y: \(-1 - (-5) = -1 + 5 = 4\)

In all cases, we have the same translation:
- The x-coordinates are translated by \(-3\).
- The y-coordinates are translated by \(4\).

Thus, the translation rule is:

\((x,y) \rightarrow (x - 3, y + 4)\).
