Answer: By adding 2 to y and subtracting x by 3.

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s use the equation y = x since it’s simple. In order to translate an equation anywhere to the right, you have to subtract x by a unit. Since it’s 3 units, the equation is now y = x - 3. To translate an equation down, you have to add a unit to y. Since the questions asks for two units, add 2 to y. The equation should now be y + 2 = x - 3.
