Answer 2

Answer: SECOND OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following point identified as "A":

$A(-1,4)$

You can identify that the x-coordinate of the point is:

$x=-1$

And its y-coordinate is:

$y=4$

According to the exercise, this point is translated five units right and three units down. This means that, in order to find the new coordinates, you need to add 5 to the original x-coordinate and subtract 3 from the original y-coordinate.

Therefore, you can conclude that the rule that best describe the translation of the point $A(-1,4)$ is the following:

$(x,y)$ → $(x+5,y-3)$

Then, the point translated is:

$A'(-1+5,\ 4-3)$ → $A'(4,1)$
