Triangle MNO is translated up 6 units and right 3 units. Point N is located at (1,-5). What are the coordinates of N' ?

A. (4,1)
B. (7,-2)
C. (5,2)
D. (-5,-8)
E. (7,-8)
F. (-2,1)

To find the coordinates of N', we need to apply the translation to the coordinates of point N (1,-5).

The translation involves moving up 6 units and right 3 units. Therefore, the x-coordinate will increase by 3 and the y-coordinate will increase by 6.

Adding 3 to 1 (x-coordinate of N) gives 4.
Adding 6 to -5 (y-coordinate of N) gives 1.

Therefore, the coordinates of N' are (4,1), which corresponds to option A. (4,1)
