Concept:Translation moves a point by adding the translation vector to its coordinates.Solution:Write the point $P(-2,3)$ as a position vector $\binom{-2}{3}$.Add the translation vector $\binom{-1}{3}$ to it.$R = \binom{-2}{3} + \binom{-1}{3}$$R = \binom{-2 + (-1)}{3 + 3}$$R = \binom{-3}{6}$So the coordinates of $R$ are $(-3,6)$.Answer:Option B ($(-3,6)$)
