The transformation rule given is \((x, y) \rightarrow (x - 3, y)\). This rule means that each point on the figure is shifted 3 units to the left along the x-axis, while the y-coordinate remains unchanged.

Therefore, the transformation can be correctly described as a "translation 3 units to the left."

Would you like more details or have any questions? 

Here are some related questions you could consider:
1. What would the transformation be if the rule was \((x, y) \rightarrow (x + 3, y)\)?
2. How would the figure change if the rule was \((x, y) \rightarrow (x, y + 3)\)?
3. What kind of transformation occurs if both x and y coordinates change, for example, \((x, y) \rightarrow (x + 2, y - 3)\)?
4. How can you represent a reflection over the y-axis using a transformation rule?
5. What transformation rule represents a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise about the origin?

**Tip:** When translating a figure, only the coordinates change by adding or subtracting values; the shape and orientation of the figure remain the same.

A figure is transformed using the rule (x, y) → (x - 3, y). Which answer correctly describes this transformation?
