Question
### Transformation of Triangles

#### Explanation of Diagram

The diagram displays two triangles on a coordinate grid. The triangles are labeled as follows:

- **Initial Triangle (Red)**
  - Vertices: \( A, B, C \)
  - Center labeled as \( P \)

- **Transformed Triangle (Blue)**
  - Vertices: \( A', B', C' \)
  - Center labeled as \( Q \)

The coordinate grid has both the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) clearly marked, with a range suitable for plotting the given triangles. The transformation applied to the initial triangle results in the corresponding transformed triangle.

#### Question and Options

**Question:**
Which of the following statements best describes the given transformation?

**Options:**
1. A transformation that slides to the right 1 unit and down 4 units.
2. A reflection that reflects over the y-axis.
3. A rotation 90°.
4. A transformation that slides to the right 4 units and down 1 unit.

**Explanation of Graphs/Diagrams:**

- **Initial Triangle (`A`, `B`, `C`) Coordinates:**
  - \( A (3, 5) \)
  - \( B (5, 2) \)
  - \( C (1, 3) \)

- **Transformed Triangle (`A'`, `B'`, `C'`) Coordinates:**
  - \( A' (7, 4) \)
  - \( B' (9, 1) \)
  - \( C' (5, 2) \)

By analyzing the movement from `A` to `A'`, `B` to `B'`, and `C` to `C'`, it can be seen that the transformation involves sliding (translating) the triangle 4 units to the right and 1 unit down. Thus, the correct answer to the question would be:

**Answer:**
\[ \text{A transformation that slides to the right 4 units and down 1 unit.} \]
