Answer:

3 units left and 2 units down

Explanation:

The ordered pair is written (x,y) The x tells us the location right or left from the origin (0,0) and the y tells us the up or down from the origin (0,0).

We are translating the point from (6,4) to (3,2) Look at the x values. We start at 6 and move to 3. That means that we moved 3 units to the left.

Now look at the y values. We start at 4 and move to 2. That means that we moved down 2 spaces.
