If a translation is defined by the vector [2, -3], how does it affect the x and y coordinates of a point?
Adds 2 to the x-coordinate and subtracts 3 from the y-coordinate.
Adds 2 to the x-coordinate and adds 3 to the y-coordinate.
Subtracts 2 from the x-coordinate and subtracts 3 from the y-coordinate.
Subtracts 2 from the x-coordinate and adds 3 to the y-coordinate.
