Answer:

The correct answer is (4 , 6); (3 , 9); (0 , 6)

Explanation:

In translation by a vector, we simply add or subtract the coordinates of a point with the vector to get the translated coordinates of the point.

Here the vector is 1 , 4.

Thus, the point E(3 , 2) would translate to ( 3+1 , 2+4) = ( 4 , 6 ).

The point F(2 , 5) would translate to ( 2+1 , 5+4) = ( 3 , 9 ).

The point G(-1 , 2) would translate to ( -1+1 , 2+4) = ( 0 , 6 ).
