The endpoint of the line segment before the translation can be found by moving 3 units up and 1 unit to the right from the endpoint after the translation.
Moving 3 units up from the endpoint after translation (5, 8), we get (5, 8 - 3) = (5, 5).
Moving 1 unit to the right from (5, 5), we get (5 - 1, 5) = (4, 5).
So, the point before the translation was (4, 5).
A line segment is translated 3 units down and 1 unit to the left. One of the endpoints after the translation is (5, 8) . What was this point before the translation?(1 point)

Thats incorrect!
I apologize for the mistake.
If the endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), and the translation is 3 units down and 1 unit to the left, we need to reverse this translation to find the point before the translation.
To reverse the translation, we need to move 3 units up and 1 unit to the right from the endpoint after the translation.
Moving 3 units up from the endpoint after the translation (5, 8), we get (5, 8 + 3) = (5, 11).
Moving 1 unit to the right from (5, 11), we get (5 + 1, 11) = (6, 11).
So, the point before the translation was (6, 11).
