Answer: shift 2 units right, and 4 units down

==================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The x+2 means to shift the point 2 units to the right.

For instance, the point (5,13) moves to (7,13) after adding 2 to the x coordinate.

The y-4 means to shift the point 4 units down. Example: (10,8) moves to (10,4) after subtracting 4 from the y coordinate.

Overall, (x,y)→(x+2,y-4) means "shift 2 units right, and 4 units down"

------------

Example:

Let's apply the rule to the point (1, 7)

(x,y)→(x+2,y-4)

(1,7)→(1+2,7-4)

(1,7)→(3,3)
