Point B'(6, -5) is the image of point B(-5, -2) under a translation. What are the coordinates of point B' after the translation?

Final answer:

The coordinates of point B' after the translation are already given as (6, -5), and further translation is not required as the final position is known.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question concerns the translation of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system, which is a concept in Mathematics. Given point B with coordinates (-5, -2) and its image B' with coordinates (6, -5) after a translation, the transformation can be described by the vector that we get when we subtract the coordinates of B from B', this gives us the translation vector. However, since the translation has already occurred, and we were given the final coordinates of point B', there is no need to find B' again after the translation since it is already provided as (6, -5).

For example, if we were to consider this in terms of vector addition, the transition from point B to B' could be described by the vector addition B' = B + T, where T is the translation vector. Here, T would be the change in the x and y coordinates (6 - (-5), -5 - (-2)) which is (11, -3). But since the coordinates of B' are given, there is no further action required.
