To translate the triangle, we will apply the specified transformations to each vertex of the triangle.

The original vertices of the triangle are:

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

Translation:

  • Move to the right 4 units: This means we will add 4 to the x-coordinate of each vertex.
  • Move down 2 units: This means we will subtract 2 from the y-coordinate of each vertex.

Let's apply these transformations to each vertex:

  1. For (4, 3):

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

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

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

So the new vertices of the triangle after translation are:

  • (8, 1)
  • (12, 1)
  • (11, 3)

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