Since we are moving left, the y-values are going to be the same but the x-values aren't. We are going to subtract 6 to all x-values.

(x - 6, y)

Since we are moving down, the x-values are going to be the same but the y-values aren't. We going to subtract 2 to all y-values.

(x, y - 2)

Best of Luck!
