To find the new vertices of the triangle after the translation, we need to apply the translation rules. Translating right 4 units adds 4 to the x-coordinates, and translating down 2 units subtracts 2 from the y-coordinates.

  1. For the vertex (4, 3):

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

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

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

The translated vertices are (8, 1), (12, 1), and (11, 3).

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