On the coordinate plane below, follow these directions:
1. Plot Triangle ABC with coordinates: A(3,1), B(4,4), and C(6,1).
2. If you translate Triangle ABC left 4, up 1, graph Triangle A'B'C'.
3. If you translate Triangle A'B'C' according to this rule: (x-1, y+1), graph Triangle A''B''C''.
4. If you perform this transformation: T<6,0>(Triangle A''B''C''), graph Triangle A'''B'''C'''.
5. Finally, make sure each triangle is a different color and check the area of each triangle.
What are the coordinates of each triangle?
