A translation moves P(3,5) to P'(5,3). What are the coordinates of the image of point (-3,2) under the same translation?

We are given the following information

A translation moves P(3, 5) to P'(5, 3)

Here the original point is P(3, 5) and its image is P'(5, 3)

2 is added to the x-coordinate so that it became 5 (3 + 2 = 5)

2 is subtracted from the y-coordinate so that it becomes 3 (5 -2 = 3)

Let us apply the same translation to the point (-3, 2)

2 is added to the x-coordinate so that it became -1 (-3 + 2 = -1)

2 is subtracted from the y-coordinate so that it becomes 0 (2 - 2 = 0)

Therefore, the coordinates of the image of the point (-3, 2) under the same translation are

(-1, 0)

Option 3 is the correct answer.
