A. Write a rule to describe it the translation.
B. What were the coordinates of the drummer's final position?​

Answer 1

a) The answer is: (x + a, y + b)

b) The answer is: (-1, -2)

The initial coordinates are:

(x, y) = (-2, -5)

Let's find a and b.

a is a distance in x direction: a = 1

b is a distance in y direction: b = 3

The final position is:

(x + a, y + b) = (-2 + 1, -5 + 3) = (-1, -2)
