Answer:

(-6,-5)

Explanation:

Let a function be f(x)

So, f(x-a) would be the same function BUT translated a units to the RIGHT.

So, that changes all x coordinates a units to the right (+a) and all the y-ccordinates remains same.

Our function goes through the transformation f(x-2), which means 2 units to the right, so we "ADD" 2 to all x-coordinates and y remains same.

Thus, the point (-8,-5) would become (-8+2,-5) = (-6,-5)
