Question: A triangle has vertices A = (1, 2), B = (3, 5), and C = (6, 1). Triangle ABC is obtained by sliding triangle ABC

A triangle has vertices A = (1, 2), B = (3, −5), and C = (6, 1). Triangle A’B’C’ is obtained by sliding triangle ABC 5 units to the right (in the positive x-direction, in other words) and 3 units up (in the positive y-direction). It is also customary to say that vector [5, 3] has been used to translate triangle ABC. What are the coordinates of A’, B’, and C’? By the way, “A prime” is the usual way of reading A’.
