As your - 2 is directly affecting the x with addition/subtraction, it is a translation horizontally. To find direction, change the sign, from negative to positive, making it go right. This means it will be translated 2 units to the right, fitting the first statement. For your + 5, it is not directly affecting the x, making it a translation vertically. As it's positive, it goes up, making it a translation 5 units up, fitting statement 4. This makes your correct statements 1 and 4.
