The new co-ordinates of a point $(4,5)$ when the origin is shifted to the point $(1,-2)$ are:

$1$. $(5,3)$

$2$. $(3,5)$

$3$. $(3,7)$

$4$. None.

My Attempt:

$$\#1$$ The origin is shifted to the right by $1$unit (right means positive $x$). The point is thus shifted identically, thus the first coordinate of your new point is $5$.

The origin is also shifted down by $2$ units (down means negative $y$). The point goes similarly, so the second coordinate is $3$.

Result is, thus, $(5, 3)$.

$$\#2$$

Let the new origin be $(h,k)=(1,-2)$ and $(x,y)=(4,5)$ be the given point.

Therefore the new co-ordinates $(X,Y)$

$$x=X+h$$ $$4=X+1$$ $$X=3$$

$$y=Y+k$$ $$5=Y-2$$ $$Y=7$$

So, the result is $(X,Y)=(3,7)$.

I got two different answers. Which one is correct?
