Before the translation, the coordinates of one endpoint of the line segment were (x, y). After the translation, the endpoint is now located at (x, y-3).
Given that the new endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), we can set up the following equation:
x = 5
y - 3 = 8
Solving the second equation, we find:
y = 8 + 3 = 11
Therefore, the coordinates of the original endpoint before the translation were (5, 11).
A line segement is translated 3 units down and 1 unit below one of the ends points after the translation is 5,8
