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)
The point before the translation can be found by adding 3 to the y-coordinate and subtracting 1 from the x-coordinate.
Therefore, the point before the translation is (5 - 1, 8 + 3) = (4, 11).
