A(5, 3), B(2, 1), and C(-2, 4) are the coordinates of a triangle's vertices. If the triangle is translated right 5 units, what are the coordinates of the image?

A'(5, 8), B'(2, 6), C'(-2, 9)
A'(0, 3), B'(-3, 1), C'(-7, 4)
A'(10, 8), B'(7, 6), C'(3, 9)
A'(10, 3), B'(7, 1), C'(3, 4)

Since it is translated to the right then it is moving horizontally so its dealing with the x-axis.....since it is moving to the right then the x-value is increasing.....so you would add 5 to the x-value of the coord...

$\huge{(x+5,y)}$

Plug it in :)
