Answer:

  • (-2,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a coordinate is translated upwards or downwards, it is the change in y-axis. This means that the new coordinate will be:

  • (-2,3) + (0,6)
  • => 3 + 6
  • => 9

This means that the y-coordinate will be 9. The x coordinate will remain the same because the change only occurred in the y-axis.

This means that the new coordinate is (-2,9).

Base in your question the triangle ABC is a triangle that is translated 6 units up and 3 units left and create a new triangle A'B'C'. So if a vertex A is located at a point of (-1,2) the possible coordinates of A' is (-4, 8) and i hope you are satisfied with my answer.
