Point P(−3, −4) is translated 4 units to the right. What are the coordinates of its image after this transformation?

Note that when translating right or left, you are actually changing the x.

Translating right, means that you are adding 4 to the x.

When: (x , y) = (-3 , -4), and you are translating to the right 4 units

(-3 + 4, -4)

simplify

(1, -4)

P'(1, -4) is the coordinates for it's image

hope this helps
