### Translation of Geometric Figures

Translate the image by the directed line segment from \((0,0)\) to \((4,1)\).

#### Given Points:
- \( A = (-2, 5) \)
- \( B = (-6, -2) \)
- \( C = (-1, -2) \)

### Task:
Determine the new coordinates for points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) after translation by the vector \((4, 1)\).

#### Steps:
1. Add the translation vector \((4, 1)\) to each original coordinate.

2. For point \(A\):
   \[
   A' = A + (4,1) = (-2+4, 5+1) = (2, 6)
   \]

3. For point \(B\):
   \[
   B' = B + (4,1) = (-6+4, -2+1) = (-2, -1)
   \]

4. For point \(C\):
   \[
   C' = C + (4,1) = (-1+4, -2+1) = (3, -1)
   \]

### Translated Coordinates:
- \( A' = (2, 6) \)
- \( B' = (-2, -1) \)
- \( C' = (3, -1) \)

#### Graph Explanation:
The graph provided consists of a coordinate plane with both the x-axis and the y-axis ranging from -10 to 10. The original triangle \( \triangle ABC \) is plotted with vertices at:
- \( A(-2, 5) \)
- \( B(-6, -2) \)
- \( C(-1, -2) \)

To translate this triangle, each vertex is moved 4 units right and 1 unit up, as indicated by the directed line segment from the origin \((0,0)\) to the point \((4,1)\).

This method demonstrates how to shift all points of a geometric figure by the same amount in a given direction, effectively translating the entire figure.
