Explanation:

Step1: Identify Original Coordinates

First, find the original coordinates of triangle \( ABC \). From the graph:

• \( A \): Let's assume original \( A \) is \((-5, 2)\) (need to check grid, but typical translation from \((0,0)\) to \((4,4)\) is a vector \((4,4)\), but wait, the translation is "by the directed line segment from \((0,0)\) to \((4,4)\)", so the translation vector is \((4,4)\) (add 4 to x, add 4 to y). Wait, first, find original \( A \), \( B \), \( C \):

Looking at the grid, let's re - examine:

• \( B \): Let's say original \( B \) is \((-7, -1)\) (wait, no, looking at the graph, the x - axis: from - 10 to 10, y - axis from - 10 to 10. Let's find the original points:

Assume:

• \( A \): Let's see, the triangle: \( A \) is at \((-5, 2)\), \( B \) at \((-7, -1)\), \( C \) at \((-3, 0)\) (need to confirm with grid lines. Each grid square is 1 unit. So:
• \( A \): x = - 5, y = 2 (so \( A=(-5,2)\))
• \( B \): x = - 7, y = - 1 (so \( B = (-7,-1)\))
• \( C \): x = - 3, y = 0 (so \( C=(-3,0)\))

Step2: Apply Translation Vector

The translation is by the directed line segment from \((0,0)\) to \((4,4)\), so the translation rule is \((x,y)\to(x + 4,y + 4)\) (because to go from \((0,0)\) to \((4,4)\), we add 4 to x and 4 to y).

For \( A' \):

Take original \( A(-5,2)\). Apply translation: \( x'=-5 + 4=-1\), \( y'=2 + 4 = 6\). So \( A'=(-1,6)\)

For \( B' \):

Take original \( B(-7,-1)\). Apply translation: \( x'=-7+4=-3\), \( y'=-1 + 4=3\). So \( B'=(-3,3)\)

For \( C' \):

Take original \( C(-3,0)\). Apply translation: \( x'=-3 + 4 = 1\), \( y'=0+4 = 4\). So \( C'=(1,4)\)

Answer:

\( A'=\boldsymbol{(-1,6)} \)
\( B'=\boldsymbol{(-3,3)} \)
\( C'=\boldsymbol{(1,4)} \)

(Note: If the original points were mis - identified, let's re - check. Let's re - evaluate the original points:
Looking at the graph again, maybe the original points are:

• \( A \): Let's see, the x - coordinate: from the origin (0,0), moving left 5 units (x=-5) and up 2 units (y = 2), so \( A(-5,2)\)
• \( B \): left 7 units (x=-7), down 1 unit (y=-1), so \( B(-7,-1)\)
• \( C \): left 3 units (x=-3), y = 0, so \( C(-3,0)\)

Translation vector: from \((0,0)\) to \((4,4)\) is \((4,4)\), so add 4 to x and 4 to y.

So:

• \( A' \): \( x=-5 + 4=-1\), \( y = 2+4 = 6\) → \((-1,6)\)
• \( B' \): \( x=-7 + 4=-3\), \( y=-1 + 4 = 3\) → \((-3,3)\)
• \( C' \): \( x=-3+4 = 1\), \( y = 0 + 4=4\) → \((1,4)\)

So the coordinates of the vertices of the image are \( A'(-1,6)\), \( B'(-3,3)\), \( C'(1,4)\))
