To find the coordinates of point \( A' \) after translating point \( A(4, 7) \) left 2 units and down 4 units, you can follow these steps:

  1. Translate left 2 units:

    • To translate left, you subtract from the x-coordinate.
    • \( 4 - 2 = 2 \)
  2. Translate down 4 units:

    • To translate down, you subtract from the y-coordinate.
    • \( 7 - 4 = 3 \)

Therefore, the new coordinates for point \( A' \) after the translation will be:

\[ A' (2, 3) \]
