we are asked to find the coordinates of point X when it is translated 3 units to the left and 9 units down. This transformation is equivalent to:


(x^(\prime),y^(\prime))=(x-3,y-9)

The coordinates of point X are:


X=(-1,4)

Applying the transformation we get:


\begin{gathered} (x^(\prime),y^(\prime))=(-1-3,4-9) \\ (x^(\prime),y^(\prime))=(-4,-5) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is: (-4, -5)
