            The formulation of this post is not clear enough to classify it as a Math problem.

From the post, I read

A scientist used a sensor to track the movement of a mouse.

Very good, I do understand it . . . (I can consider myself as a scientist, and I know what a mouse is . . . )

Then the post asks:

"State the new coordinates of any point (x, y) under this translation."

At this point, I just do not understand: what is the translation you are talking about ?
