To solve the question about the final location of point P after the two translations, we'll follow these steps:

  1. Identify the original point P:
    Point P is at (-4, 5).

  2. Apply the first translation rule (x + 3, y - 6):

    • For the x-coordinate:
      \(-4 + 3 = -1\)
    • For the y-coordinate:
      \(5 - 6 = -1\)
      So after the first translation, the coordinates of point P become \((-1, -1)\).
  3. Apply the second translation rule (x - 4, y + 2):

    • For the x-coordinate:
      \(-1 - 4 = -5\)
    • For the y-coordinate:
      \(-1 + 2 = 1\)
      So after the second translation, the coordinates of point P are \((-5, 1)\).
  4. Determine the quadrant for point P' (-5, 1):
    The x-coordinate is negative (-5) and the y-coordinate is positive (1). Therefore, point P' is located in Quadrant II.

So for Question 1, the correct response is II.

For Question 2, the composition transformation in terms of (x, y) that combines the previous translations would be:

  1. From \((x, y)\) to \((x + 3, y - 6)\)
  2. From \((x + 3, y - 6)\) to \((x + 3 - 4, y - 6 + 2) = (x - 1, y - 4)\)

Therefore, the rule for the composition transformation is: \((x - 1, y - 4)\).
