A line segment is translated 3 units down and 1 unit to the the left one of the endpoints after the translation is 5,8 what was the point before the translation

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of the point before the translation, we need to reverse the translation.

The translation is 3 units down and 1 unit to the left. Therefore, to reverse the translation, we need to move 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.

Starting with the endpoint at (5, 8), we can move 3 units up to get the y-coordinate: 8 - 3 = 5.

Similarly, we can move 1 unit to the right to get the x-coordinate: 5 + 1 = 6.

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

Answer 2

(6,11)
