Find the coordinates of point ZZ' given that point ZZ has coordinates (3,5)(-3,5) and is translated left 2 units and down 2 units.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The original coordinates of point ZZ are (3,5)(-3,5).
2. A translation left means a decrease in the x-coordinate.
3. A translation down means a decrease in the y-coordinate.
4. The translation is 2 units left and 2 units down.

STEP 2

To translate a point left, we subtract from its x-coordinate.
xZ=xZtranslation leftx_{Z'} = x_Z - \text{translation left}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the x-coordinate of point ZZ and the translation left.
xZ=32x_{Z'} = -3 - 2

STEP 4

Calculate the new x-coordinate for point ZZ'.
xZ=32=5x_{Z'} = -3 - 2 = -5

STEP 5

To translate a point down, we subtract from its y-coordinate.
yZ=yZtranslation downy_{Z'} = y_Z - \text{translation down}

STEP 6

Now, plug in the given values for the y-coordinate of point ZZ and the translation down.
yZ=52y_{Z'} = 5 - 2

STEP 7

Calculate the new y-coordinate for point ZZ'.
yZ=52=3y_{Z'} = 5 - 2 = 3

STEP 8

Combine the new x-coordinate and y-coordinate to form the coordinates of point ZZ'.
Z=(xZ,yZ)Z' = (x_{Z'}, y_{Z'})

STEP 9

Plug in the calculated values for xZx_{Z'} and yZy_{Z'} into the ordered pair.
Z=(5,3)Z' = (-5, 3)
The coordinates of point ZZ' after the translation are (5,3)(-5, 3).
