We want to translate from point (- 4, - 6) to (- 6, - 12)

If we translate a point with coordinates, (x, y) by c units to the left and d units downwards, the new coordinates would be (x - c, y - d)

Looking at the given points,

- 4 - 2 = - 6

- 6 - 6 = - 12

Thus, the point was translated by 2 units to the left and 6 units downwards
