(x, y) = (x+5, y-2)

This means , that every x is shifted by +5, (to the right) and every y is shifted by -2 (to the left). Let me show you this graphically.

above is a circle (because the circle is easy to graph), and I will apply the translations of the triangle question on it, in the next screenshot, that I am going to attach now.
