for each vertex just take the x and y coordinate and apply the translation. so for the point (-3,-2) make them (-3+2, -2+3)=(-1,1) and do the same for the other two points (0,2) and (-7,3)

Answer:

A.
(-5,6),(2,5),(-1,1)

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a triangle on coordinate plane. We are asked to find the coordinates of vertices of the triangle under the translation (x, y) —> (x + 2, y + 3).

The given translation rule tells us to add 2 to x-coordinates and 3 to y-coordinates of each vertices of the given triangle.

The coordinates of vertices of the triangle are
(-7,3),
(0,2) and
(-3,-2).

After adding 2 to x-coordinates and 3 to y-coordinates the new coordinates would be:


(-7,3)\rightarrow (-7+2,3+3)=(-5,6),


(0,2)\rightarrow (0+2,2+3)=(2,5)


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

Therefore option A is the correct choice.
