Answer:
(-5, 3)
(-2, 6)
(-4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:
To translate 5 units up means to add 5 to the y value since the y-axis dictates the vertical positioning of a coordinate. However, the x-values remain unchanged.
So all the y values are -2, 1, and -7. Add 5 to all of these.
-2 + 5 = 3
1 + 5 = 6
-7 + 5 = -2
Then re-pair them with their x-values like so:
(-5, 3)
(-2, 1)
(-4, -2)
VĂ­ola.
