Answer:

(x, y) ⇒ (x -2, y -3)

Explanation:

The x-coordinate of P is reduced by 2 to make the x-coordinate of P'. This is a shift left by 2 units.

The y-coordinate of P is reduced by 3 to make the y-coordinate of P'. This is a shift down by 3 units.

Such a translation can be represented using a number of different notations. Choose one your grader expects to see. Some possibilities might be ...

(x, y) ⇒ (x -2, y -3)

T(-2, -3)

translation by (-2, -3)

g(x) = f(x+2) -3
