if point (x, y) translated h units right and k units down, then its image is (x + h, y - k)

We add its x-coordinate by h and subtract its y-coordinate by k

The vertices of the given figure are:

(-6, 2), (-1, 6), (-2, 7), (-4, 7)

Since we will translate the figure 6 units right and 1 unit down, then

h = 6 and k = 1

Add 6 to each x-coordinate and subtract 1 from each y-coordinate

Then the new points are:

(-6 + 6, 2 - 1) = (0, 1)

(-1 + 6, 6 - 1) = (5, 5)

(-2 + 6, 7 - 1) = (4, 6)

(-4 + 6, 7 - 1) = (2, 6)

The new vertices are

(0, 1), (5, 5), (4, 6), (2, 6)
