Answer: C) (2,0), (-4,-8), (-2, 1)

Explanation:

The translation rule for translating a point (x,y) by k units down :-


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,y-h)

Given : A triangle in the coordinate plane has coordinates of (2,3), (-4,-5), and (-2, 4). It is translated 3 units down.

Then, its new coordinates will be :


(2,3)\rightarrow(2,3-3)=(2,0)


(-4,-5)\rightarrow(-4,-5-3)=(-4,-8)


(-2, 4)\rightarrow(-2,4-3)=(-2,1)

Hence, the new coordinates = (2,0), (-4,-8), (-2, 1)
