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) ()

1 answer

The point before the translation can be found by moving 3 units up and 1 unit to the right from the given endpoint (5, 8).

Moving 3 units up from 8 results in 8 - 3 = 5.

Moving 1 unit to the right from 5 results in 5 + 1 = 6.

Therefore, the point before the translation is (6, 5).
