Answer:

To translate a polygon 4 units to the right and 5 units down, you need to add 4 to the x-coordinates and subtract 5 from the y-coordinates of each vertex. Applying this translation to the given polygon:

Original polygon vertices:

(-5, 3), (-1, 3), (1, 0), (-3, 0)

Translated polygon vertices:

(-5 + 4, 3 - 5), (-1 + 4, 3 - 5), (1 + 4, 0 - 5), (-3 + 4, 0 - 5)

Simplifying the coordinates:

(-1, -2), (3, -2), (5, -5), (1, -5)

So, the translated polygon with a geometric translation of 4 units to the right and 5 units down is formed by the vertices (-1, -2), (3, -2), (5, -5), and (1, -5).
