A rectangle with a vertex at (8,−2) is translated 3 units down. What are the coordinates of this vertex after it is translated? Draw a graph if necessary.(1 point)

Answer 1

The original vertex is at (8, -2). If the rectangle is translated 3 units down, the y-coordinate of the vertex will decrease by 3.

Therefore, the new coordinates of the vertex after translation are (8, -2-3) = (8, -5).

The graph is not necessary as the coordinates can be determined algebraically.
