(−5, 7)
and (−3, 3)

Answer 1

To translate the endpoints of the line segment (−2, 7) and (0, 3) by 3 units to the left and 5 units down, we can follow these steps:

1. **Translate the point (−2, 7)**:
- Move 3 units to the left: \( -2 - 3 = -5 \)
- Move 5 units down: \( 7 - 5 = 2 \)
- So, the new coordinates are (−5, 2).

2. **Translate the point (0, 3)**:
- Move 3 units to the left: \( 0 - 3 = -3 \)
- Move 5 units down: \( 3 - 5 = -2 \)
- So, the new coordinates are (−3, −2).

Thus, the translated endpoints of the line segment are **(−5, 2) and (−3, −2)**.

**Answer: (−5, 2) and (−3, −2)**.
