To move a point 5 units to the left, you need to subtract 5 from the x-coordinate of the point, while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
This can be represented as the translation rule \((x, y) \to (x - 5, y)\).
Among the options given, the correct representation would be:
**C** (-5, 0)
However, this point itself is not the translation rule. The correct translation vector for moving a point 5 units to the left is actually \((-5, 0)\), which indicates the change in coordinates.
Please note that option C (-5, 0) could lead to confusion; it's not a point achieved by the translation, but rather describes how the point’s x-coordinate would change. If the context is choosing the translation vector itself, take note of any such requirement.
