A triangle in the coordinate plane has coordinates of (2,3), (-4,-5), and (-2, 4). It is translated 3 units down. What are its new coordinates?

A (5,3), (-1,-5), (1,4)
B (2,6), (-4,-2), (-2, 7)
C (2,0), (-4,-8), (-2, 1)
D (-1,3), (-7,-5), (-5,4)

I need this done fast

translated 3 units down means the x stays the same and you subtract 3 from the Y

so (2,3) becomes (2,0)

(-4,-5) = (-4,-8)

and (-2,4) = (-2,1)

so new coordinates are C. (2,0), (-4,-8), (-2,1)
