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)
To find the original point before the translation, we need to move 3 units up and 1 unit to the right from the given endpoint (5, 8).
Moving 3 units up means subtracting 3 from the y-coordinate:
8 - 3 = 5
Moving 1 unit to the right means adding 1 to the x-coordinate:
5 + 1 = 6
So, the original point before the translation is (6, 5).
nope
I apologize for the mistake. To find the original point before the translation, we need to move 3 units down and 1 unit to the left from the given endpoint (5, 8).
Moving 3 units down means adding 3 to the y-coordinate:
8 + 3 = 11
Moving 1 unit to the left means subtracting 1 from the x-coordinate:
5 - 1 = 4
So, the original point before the translation is (4, 11).
wrong
Nope.
Apologies for the previous incorrect response.
If the endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), and the translation is 3 units down and 1 unit to the left, then the original point before the translation can be found by moving 3 units up and 1 unit to the right from the translated point.
Moving 3 units up means subtracting 3 from the y-coordinate:
8 - 3 = 5
Moving 1 unit to the right means adding 1 to the x-coordinate:
5 + 1 = 6
So, the original point before the translation is (6, 5).
