Use the image to answer the question.
An illustraiton of a coordinate plane of 4 quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A triangle upper A, upper B, upper C is formed by solid lines at upper A left parenthesis 2 comma 1 right parenthesis, upper B left parenthesis 7 comma 1 right parenthesis, and upper C left parenthesis 4 comma 3 right parenthesis. A triangle upper A prime, upper B prime, upper C prime is formed by dotted lines at upper A prime left parenthesis negative 1 comma 2 right parenthesis, upper B prime left parenthesis negative 1 comma 7 right parenthesis, upper C prime left parenthesis negative 3 comma 4 right parenthesis.

By comparing the given coordinates, we can see that:
Side AB in triangle ABC corresponds to side A'B' in triangle A'B'C'.
Side BC in triangle ABC corresponds to side B'C' in triangle A'B'C'.
Side CA in triangle ABC corresponds to side C'A' in triangle A'B'C'.
Based on this correspondence, we can conclude that the triangles ABC and A'B'C' underwent a translation.
