To determine the translation made to triangle ABC, you would need to look at the coordinates of the triangle before and after the translation.

Once you have the original coordinates of triangle ABC and the coordinates of the triangle after translation (let's call it triangle A'B'C'), you can calculate the changes in the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the vertices.

The translation vector is determined by:

  • Horizontal Translation (x-direction): If the x-coordinate of A' is greater than A, then it's a translation to the right; if it's less, it's to the left.
  • Vertical Translation (y-direction): If the y-coordinate of B' is less than B, then it's a translation downwards; if it's greater, it's upwards.

Without the specific coordinates or a visual representation, I cannot definitively state which response is correct. However, the correct answer would be found by following the above process using the coordinates involved. If you have those coordinates, please provide them, or use this approach to find the translation!
