Recall that a translation of n units to the left transforms the point (x,y) as follows:


(x,y)\rightarrow(x-n,y).

A vertical translation of n units up transforms the point as follows:


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,y+n).

Therefore, a point (x,y) translated 5 units to the left, and 3 units up is transformed as follows:


(x,y)\rightarrow(x-5,y+3).

Now, the coordinates of point P are:


P(3,-4),

therefore, the image of point P under the transformations is:


P^(\prime)(3-5,-4+3)=P^(\prime)(-2,-1).
