The graph is translated three units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, a 'Translation' is an transformation where the figure or graph is shifted in any direction.

According to our question (x, y) becomes (x, y-3), this means that the graph value of 'x' co-ordinate remains same and the value of 'y' co-ordinate is decreased by 3 units.

So, the graph is shifted three units downwards i. e. it is translated three units down.
