Question 977817: A vector with initial point (2,3) and a terminal point (5,-3) is translated so that its initial point is at the origin. Find the new terminal point.

(2,3) gets sent to (0,0)
by subtracting 2 from x
and subtracting 3 from y

Do the same for the terminal point (5,-3):
5 - 2 = 3
-3 - 3 = -6

So the new terminal point is (3,-6)
