B (6,10)
C (-12, 10)
D (6,5)

The answer is D because -3+9 is 6 and 15-10 is 5

Final answer:

The new coordinates after translating the point (-3, 15) by 9 units right and 10 units down are (6, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves finding the new coordinates of a point after a certain translation in a coordinate system. When the point (-3, 15) is translated 9 units to the right, its x-coordinate increases by 9. When it is translated 10 units down, its y-coordinate decreases by 10. Therefore, the new x-coordinate is -3 + 9 = 6, and the new y-coordinate is 15 - 10 = 5. So, the new coordinates of the point are (6, 5).
