To translate triangle ABC by 3 units to the left and 5 units down, you subtract 3 from the x-coordinates and 5 from the y-coordinates of each vertex.

Let's represent the original coordinates of triangle ABC as:

  • A(x₁, y₁)
  • B(x₂, y₂)
  • C(x₃, y₃)

The new coordinates A', B', C' after translation will be:

  • A′(x₁ - 3, y₁ - 5)
  • B′(x₂ - 3, y₂ - 5)
  • C′(x₃ - 3, y₃ - 5)

Since we don't have the original coordinates of triangle ABC, we can check which option matches typical translation outputs.

Let's evaluate the provided options based on the expected changes:

  1. A′(−1, 2), B′(−3, −2), C′(2, 0)
  2. A′(1, 10), B′(−1, 6), C′(4, 7)
  3. A′(1, 0), B′(−1, −4), C′(4, −2)
  4. A′(7, 0), B′(5, −4), C′(10, −2)

To determine the correct answer, one would have needed to know the original coordinates. Nevertheless, you can verify each option by assuming some arbitrary initial coordinates for triangle ABC, performing the translation, and checking which of the given options corresponds.

For example, if we assumed:

  • A(2, 7)
  • B(0, 3)
  • C(5, 5)

After translating by 3 units left and 5 units down:

  • A' would be (2-3, 7-5) = (-1, 2)
  • B' would be (0-3, 3-5) = (-3, -2)
  • C' would be (5-3, 5-5) = (2, 0)

Thus resulting coordinates A′(-1, 2), B′(-3, -2), C′(2, 0) match with option 1.

Therefore, the answer is: A′(−1, 2), B′(−3, −2), C′(2, 0).
