Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:

Two units left, 7 units up.

»»————- ★ ————-««

Here’s why:

  • Moving a point to the left would have a negative 'x' value. Since the point has '-2', it is two units left from the origin.
  • The positive value of 7 in the 'y' value means that the point is 7 units up from the origin.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
