Question

A line segement is translated 3 units down and 1 unit below one of the ends points after the translation is 5,8

Answer 1

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).
