Question

translate triangle abc 5 units up. start by plotting point a.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation rule

In a coordinate - plane, translating a point $(x,y)$ up by $n$ units gives the new point $(x,y + n)$.

Step2: Assume coordinates of point A

Let's assume point $A$ has coordinates $(x_A,y_A)$. After translating 5 units up, the coordinates of $A'$ will be $(x_A,y_A + 5)$. On the grid, count 5 units up from point $A$ and plot the new point $A'$.

Answer:

Plot the new point $A'$ which is 5 units above point $A$ on the grid.
