To find the new vertices of the triangle after translating it 4 units to the right and 2 units down, we need to apply the translation to each of the original vertices.

The original vertices are:

  1. (4, 3)
  2. (8, 3)
  3. (7, 5)

Translation Steps:

  1. Translate right 4 units:
    • For point (x, y), the new x-coordinate will be \(x + 4\).
  2. Translate down 2 units:
    • For point (x, y), the new y-coordinate will be \(y - 2\).

Calculate the new vertices:

  1. For the vertex (4, 3):

    • New x: \(4 + 4 = 8\)
    • New y: \(3 - 2 = 1\)
    • Translated point: (8, 1)
  2. For the vertex (8, 3):

    • New x: \(8 + 4 = 12\)
    • New y: \(3 - 2 = 1\)
    • Translated point: (12, 1)
  3. For the vertex (7, 5):

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

Translated vertices:

So the translated vertices are:

  • (8, 1)
  • (12, 1)
  • (11, 3)

The correct response is: (8, 1), (12, 1), and (11, 3).
