To find the resulting coordinates after applying the translation vector <2,−3> to the coordinates (−2,−5), you add the components of the translation vector to the original coordinates.

The translation vector <2,−3> means you add 2 to the x-coordinate and -3 to the y-coordinate:

  1. For the x-coordinate: \(-2 + 2 = 0\)

  2. For the y-coordinate: \(-5 - 3 = -8\)

So, the resulting coordinates after the translation are (0, -8).

The correct answer is:

(0,−8)
