Directions: Grab paper (graph paper) and pencil.

1.
Starting with point A (-4, -5), which single translation will produce the same image as the following sequence of translations:
(x, y) → (x - 1, y + 5), followed by
(x, y) → (x + 4, y + 2), followed by
(x, y) → (x - 5, y - 7) ?
Choose:
(x, y) → (x - 6, y - 5)
