This deals with quadratic functions-If I have a graph with h = (-5)and k =3 and they ask for the translation, would it be {5,3} or would the translation just be {-5,3}

Do you take the opposite of the number when it is transalated from the graph or do you only take the opposite when you transalate from the quadratic equation?

The question seems incomplete to me.

A translation requires two of the three items of data: origin, destination, or the translation vector.

In the given question, I see only the origin (vertex), but do not find where the vertex is supposed to go, or a translation vector provided.

If you have more information, kindly post. If the vertex is to translate to the origin, say so.
There wasn't anymore. They show an upward parabola graphed with vertex h=(-5) and K=(-5) and they ask what is the translation in terms of h and k of the following graph.

Possible answers:
h=5, k=5
h= -5, k=5
h= -5 and k=-5
h=5 and k= -5

That's why I asked do I just answer where the vertex is because it is 5 to the left and five down with the upward parabola or what?
