A triangle with a vertex (-3,5) is translated up to 6 units. What are the coordinates of this vertex after it is translated?
The vertex after it is translated will have the same x-coordinate of -3, but its y-coordinate will be 5 + 6 = 11. Therefore, the coordinates of the translated vertex are (-3,11).
To translate a point vertically, you simply add the same value to the y-coordinate of the point.
In this case, the given point is (-3, 5) and it is translated up 6 units.
To find the new y-coordinate after the translation, we add 6 to the original y-coordinate: 5 + 6 = 11.
Therefore, the new coordinates of the vertex after it is translated up 6 units are (-3, 11).
