If you translate a point down 5 units, simply subtract 5 from the y coordinate of the point like this:

Original point:(5,7)----> translated 5 units down: (5,7-5)=(5,2)

So the translated point is (5,2)

Here's a way to picture it:

Original point (5,7) in blue and translated point (5,2) in green shifted down 5 units
