Answer: Graph C

Reason

"Right 2" means we add 2 to the x coordinate.

We go from x = 1 to x = 1+2 = 3

"Down 2" means subtract 2 from the y coordinate.

We go from y = 1 to y = 1-2 = -1

The point (1,1) moves to (3, -1) when applying the "right 2, down 2" motion.

The notation for this would be
(\text{x},\text{y}) \to (\text{x}+2,\text{y}-2)
