I see your problem already.  You kind of started out doing the right thing,
but you petered out for two reasons:  #1. you weren't sure of what you were
doing, and #2. you tried to do it on the sheet and didn't have enough room.

Take it slow and easy.

-- Pick up your pencil again.

-- On a clean piece of paper, write down the coordinates of the three points: 

         (2, 1)    (3, 4)    (1, 3)

-- Translating the triangle down 1 unit makes every 'y'-value 1 unit less.
Above the y-value in each point, write the number that's 1 less.
(The original y-values of the points are 1, 4, and 3.)

-- Translating the triangle left 3 unit makes every 'x'-value 3 units less.
Above the x-value in each point, write the number that's 3 less.
(The original x-values of the points are 2, 3, and 1.)

-- Now you have the new points right above the original points,
and you can compare them to the choices on the sheet.

If you don't settle on choice- 'D', then check over your work.
