Question 88037
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:


{{{drawing( 500, 500, -8, 8, -8, 8,
 graph( 500, 500, -8, 8, -8, 8, 0),
blue(circle(5,7,0.05)), 
blue(circle(5,7,0.08)),
green(circle(5,2,0.05)), 
green(circle(5,2,0.08)),
arrow(5,7,5,2)
)}}} Original point (5,7) in blue and translated point (5,2) in green shifted down 5 units
