\begin{gathered} \text{The coordinates of point A is given as (-4, 2).} \\ \text{That means point A is -4 on the x-axes and 2 on the y-axes.} \\ \text{When translated 3 units to the right, that means move 3 units towards the right side of the horizontal axes} \\ \text{Similarly when translated 5 units down, it means move 5 units downwards along the vertical axes.} \\ \text{Hence you now have,} \\ A(-4+\lbrack3\rbrack,\text{ 2-\lbrack{}5\rbrack)} \\ A(-1,\text{ -3)} \\ \text{The coordinates of the translated point A' are (-1, -3)} \end{gathered}
