A line segment is translated 3 units down and 1 unit to the left. One of the endpoints after the translation is (5, 8)

Question

. What was this point before the translation?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the original point before the translation, we need to reverse the translation by moving 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.

Moving 3 units up from (5, 8) means subtracting 3 from the y-coordinate:
8 - 3 = 5

Moving 1 unit to the right means adding 1 to the x-coordinate:
5 + 1 = 6

Therefore, the original point before the translation was (6, 5).
