Answer:

It moves the x value 5 units to the left.

Explanation:

"x - 5" means that we are subtracting 5 to whatever x value we are given. The "y" value doesn't change.

Since we are subtracting to the x value, we are going to move left 5 units.

Let's say we had the point (5, 5).

If we use the translation rule;

(5 - 5, 5)

(0, 5)

We moved the x value 5 units to the left.

Best of Luck!
