To translate the triangle with vertices \((4, 3)\), \((8, 3)\), and \((7, 5)\) to the right by 4 units and down by 2 units, we will apply the following transformations to each vertex:

  1. Translation to the right by 4 units: This means we will add 4 to the x-coordinate.
  2. Translation down by 2 units: This means we will subtract 2 from the y-coordinate.

Let's apply these transformations to each vertex:

  1. For the vertex \((4, 3)\):

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

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

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

Thus, the vertices of the translated triangle are \((8, 1)\), \((12, 1)\), and \((11, 3)\).

The correct response is:

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