Explanation:

We have that the vertices of triangle ABC are:

A(4, 2)

B(7, 9)

C(7, 2)

First, we are reflecting over the y axis, which makes (x,y) map onto (-x, y). This gives us:

A'(-4, 2)

B'(-7, 9)

C'(-7, 2)

Then, we translate 5 units down, meaning we subtract 5 from each of the y coordinates. This gives us a final answer of:

D(-4, -3)

E(-7, 4)

F(-7, -3)
