1 answer

To translate a line segment with endpoints \( (-2, 7) \) and \( (0, 3) \) by 3 units to the left and 5 units down, we need to apply the following transformations to each endpoint:

  1. For translation to the left by 3 units, we subtract 3 from the x-coordinate.
  2. For translation down by 5 units, we subtract 5 from the y-coordinate.

Let's calculate the new coordinates for each endpoint:

For the first endpoint \( (-2, 7) \):

  • New x-coordinate: \( -2 - 3 = -5 \)
  • New y-coordinate: \( 7 - 5 = 2 \)
  • New endpoint: \( (-5, 2) \)

For the second endpoint \( (0, 3) \):

  • New x-coordinate: \( 0 - 3 = -3 \)
  • New y-coordinate: \( 3 - 5 = -2 \)
  • New endpoint: \( (-3, -2) \)

Final Result

After translating the line segment, the new endpoints are:

  • First endpoint: \( (-5, 2) \)
  • Second endpoint: \( (-3, -2) \)

The correct response is: \((−5, 2)\) and \((−3,−2)\) (which is the first option in your list).
