1. **State the problem:**
Translate the triangle with vertices A(2,4), B(1,2), C(4,2) by the vector (-4,1).
2. **Write the transformation rule:**
The translation rule is given by
$$(x, y) \to (x - 4, y + 1)$$
This means each point moves 4 units left and 1 unit up.
3. **Apply the translation to each vertex:**
- For A(2,4):
$$A' = (2 - 4, 4 + 1) = (-2, 5)$$
- For B(1,2):
$$B' = (1 - 4, 2 + 1) = (-3, 3)$$
- For C(4,2):
$$C' = (4 - 4, 2 + 1) = (0, 3)$$
4. **Fill in the table:**
| Preimage Coordinates (x, y) | Image Coordinates (x', y') |
|-----------------------------|----------------------------|
| A (2, 4) | A' (-2, 5) |
| B (1, 2) | B' (-3, 3) |
| C (4, 2) | C' (0, 3) |
5. **Summary:**
The triangle is shifted left by 4 units and up by 1 unit, resulting in the new vertices A'(-2,5), B'(-3,3), and C'(0,3).
