A line segment is translated 3 units down and 1 unit to the the left one of the endpoints after the translation is 5,8 what was the point before the translation
(6,11)
To find the coordinates of the point before the translation, we need to reverse the translation.
The translation is 3 units down and 1 unit to the left. Therefore, to reverse the translation, we need to move 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.
Starting with the endpoint at (5, 8), we can move 3 units up to get the y-coordinate: 8 - 3 = 5.
Similarly, we can move 1 unit to the right to get the x-coordinate: 5 + 1 = 6.
Therefore, the point before the translation is (6, 5).
