Answer is (-2,3)

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from the x coordinate to move the point five units to the left. We go from (3,-1) to (-2,-1) after doing this.

Next up, add 4 to the y coordinate to shift the point up four units. We go from (-2,-1) to (-2,3)

See diagram below. Point A is the initial point, B is the second step, and C is the final destination.

Another way to write out the steps is to use the transformation rule below


(x,y) \to (x-5, y+4)\\\\(3,-1) \to (3-5, -1+4)\\\\(3,-1) \to (-2, 3)\\\\
