The point is translated from (8, 5) to (8, -1). To describe this translation, we can analyze the change in the coordinates.
The x-coordinate remains the same:
- From 8 to 8 (no change).
The y-coordinate changes from 5 to -1:
- From 5 to -1 is a change of -6.
Therefore, the translation can be described as moving vertically downwards by 6 units, since only the y-coordinate is changing while the x-coordinate remains constant.
In summary, the best description for the translation is: **"Translate 6 units downward."**
