Answer 1

To translate a point (x, y) up by 3 units, you simply add 3 to the y-coordinate of each point.

1. For the vertex \((-3, 2)\): \[ (-3, 2 + 3) = (-3, 5) \]

2. For the vertex \((0, 5)\): \[ (0, 5 + 3) = (0, 8) \]

3. For the vertex \((4, 2)\): \[ (4, 2 + 3) = (4, 5) \]

After translating the triangle 3 units up, the new vertices will be:

• \((-3, 5)\)
• \((0, 8)\)
• \((4, 5)\)

So the correct response is: \[ (-3, 5), (0, 8), \text{ and } (4, 5) \]

You may draw this new triangle on a coordinate plane by plotting these points and connecting them to visualize the translation.
