If you want to translate a point (x,y) to the left, you have to subtract the number of units (n) that you want to translate it from the original x coordinate, like this:
(x-u,y)
And if you want to translate a point (x,y) downwards, just subtract the number of units n you want to translate from the y coordinate, like this:
(x,y-n)
in this case, we have the point (-5,0) which image would be:
After a translation of 2 to the left
and with 1 unit down, this point would look like this:
(-5-2,0-1)=(-7,-1)
