Given that the point (-2, 1) is translated 3 units down and 2 units to left. The coordinate of the new point would follow the translation rule
[tex]T(x,y)\to(x-2,y-3)[/tex]Therefore, the coordinates of the new point following the translation rule are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} T(-2,1)\to_{}(-2-2,1-3) \\ =(-4,-2) \end{gathered}[/tex]The correct answer is (-4,-2)
