To express the translation \( T_{(-6, 7)}(x, y) \) as a composition of translations, we can break it down into two simpler translations that affect the \( x \)-coordinate and the \( y \)-coordinate separately.

1. **Interpret the translation**: The notation \( T_{(-6, 7)}(x, y) \) indicates that we are translating the point \( (x, y) \) by moving it \( -6 \) units in the \( x \)-direction (to the left) and \( +7 \) units in the \( y \)-direction (upwards).

2. **Defining the individual translations**:
- The translation \( T_{(0, 0)}(x, y) \) refers to not moving the point at all, which can be expressed as simply \( (x, y) \).
- The translation \( T_{(-6, 0)}(x, y) \) translates any point \( (x, y) \) by moving it 6 units left, yielding \( (x - 6, y) \).
- The translation \( T_{(0, 7)}(x, y) \) translates any point \( (x, y) \) by moving it 7 units up, yielding \( (x, y + 7) \).

3. **Combining translations**:
- To translate \( (x, y) \) to \( (x - 6, y) \) first, we apply \( T_{(-6, 0)} \):
\[
T_{(-6, 0)}(x, y) = (x - 6, y)
\]
- Next, we can apply the second translation \( T_{(0, 7)} \) to the result:
\[
T_{(0, 7)}(x - 6, y) = (x - 6, y + 7)
\]

4. **Final Composition**:
- Hence, the entire translation \( T_{(-6, 7)}(x, y) \) can be written as a composition of these two translations:
\[
T_{(-6, 7)}(x, y) = T_{(0, 7)} \circ T_{(-6, 0)}(x, y)
\]
- This means we first apply the \( T_{(-6, 0)} \) translation to \( (x, y) \), followed by the \( T_{(0, 7)} \) translation to the result.

### Conclusion
The final expression illustrating the composition of translations is:
\[
T_{(-6, 7)}(x, y) = T_{(0, 7)} \circ T_{(-6, 0)}(x, y)
\]
This expresses the desired translation as a sequential application of two simpler translations.
