To determine which functions correspond to the translations from point A to A′ on the coordinate plane, we need to identify the changes in the x and y coordinates from point A to point A′.

Let's evaluate the provided functions step by step:

1. If the x-coordinate of A is translated to A′ by a certain value, that means there is a function \( f(x) \) that represents this translation.

2. Similarly, if the y-coordinate of A is translated to A′ by another value, there will be a function \( g(y) \) for this translation.

Now, let’s examine each response to see which set of translation functions makes sense given a general translation:

1. **Response 1**:
- \( f(x) = x - 5 \) and \( g(y) = y - 2 \)
- This means the x-coordinate is decreased by 5 and the y-coordinate is decreased by 2.

2. **Response 2**:
- \( f(x) = x + 2 \) and \( g(y) = y + 5 \)
- This means the x-coordinate is increased by 2 and the y-coordinate is increased by 5.

3. **Response 3**:
- \( f(x) = x + 5 \) and \( g(y) = y + 2 \)
- This means the x-coordinate is increased by 5 and the y-coordinate is increased by 2.

4. **Response 4**:
- \( f(x) = x + 6 \) and \( g(y) = y + 3 \)
- This means the x-coordinate is increased by 6 and the y-coordinate is increased by 3.

To select among these, compare the coordinates of points A and A′:

- If point A is at \( (a, b) \) and point A′ is at \( (a + m, b + n) \), we can determine \( m \) and \( n \). The appropriate functions will be:
- \( f(x) = x + m \)
- \( g(y) = y + n \)

Make sure to calculate \( m \) and \( n \) based on the specific coordinates of points A and A′ you have if they are provided. Without the specific coordinates, we can't definitively choose a correct response. However, any of the functions listed can be correct based on the nature and direction of the translation.

If you can provide the coordinates of points A or A′, we could pinpoint the correct translation functions!
