Answer 2

Answer:

Q+ (5,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point is to be moved 5 units down, it means that its 'y' coordinate must be subtracted 5.

Same thing happens with x coordinate, it is moved 5 units to right, it meas that its 'x' coordinate must be summed with 5.

The whole operation can be written as the following addition:

Q + (5,-5)
