To translate a point 7 units to the left and 5 units down, you need to subtract 7 from the x-coordinate (for the left shift) and subtract 5 from the y-coordinate (for the downward shift).
Hence, the correct translation rule is:
\[(x, y) \rightarrow (x-7, y-5)\]
2. Which translation rule describes the translation that is 7 units to the left and 5 units down?
*
(x, y) --> (x+7, y+5)
(x, y) --> (x+5, y-7)
(x, y) --> (x-7, y-5)
(x, y) --> (x+5, y+7)
