A line segement is translated 3 units down and 1 unit below one of the ends points after the translation is 5,8
Before the translation, the coordinates of one endpoint of the line segment were (x, y). After the translation, the endpoint is now located at (x, y-3).
Given that the new endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), we can set up the following equation:
x = 5
y - 3 = 8
Solving the second equation, we find:
y = 8 + 3 = 11
Therefore, the coordinates of the original endpoint before the translation were (5, 11).
