To translate the line segment, we will adjust the coordinates of each endpoint according to the given translation: up 3 units and left 2 units.

  1. For the endpoint (0, 0):

    • Moving up 3 units: \(0 + 3 = 3\)
    • Moving left 2 units: \(0 - 2 = -2\)
    • New endpoint: \((-2, 3)\)
  2. For the endpoint (5, 4):

    • Moving up 3 units: \(4 + 3 = 7\)
    • Moving left 2 units: \(5 - 2 = 3\)
    • New endpoint: \((3, 7)\)

So, the new endpoints are:

  • The new endpoint for (0, 0) is: \((-2, 3)\).
  • The new endpoint for (5, 4) is: \((3, 7)\).
