Answer 1

To translate the vertex of the rectangle at (8, -2) three units down, you need to subtract 3 from the y-coordinate.

Starting point:

• x-coordinate = 8
• y-coordinate = -2

After translating 3 units down:

• New y-coordinate = -2 - 3 = -5

Therefore, the new coordinates of the vertex after translation are: \((8, -5)\).

So the answer is: \((8, -5)\).
