A line segment is translated three units down and one unit to the left. One of the end points after the translation is (5,8). What was this point before the translation?
To find the point before the translation, we need to reverse the translation. Since the line segment was translated three units down and one unit to the left, we need to move it three units up and one unit to the right.
For the given endpoint (5,8), we will subtract three from the y-coordinate and add one to the x-coordinate.
Subtracting three from 8, we get 8 - 3 = 5.
Adding one to 5, we get 5 + 1 = 6.
Therefore, the point before the translation is (6,5).
thats wrong
Apologies for the error in my previous response.

Adding three to 8, we get 8 + 3 = 11.
Subtracting one from 5, we get 5 - 1 = 4.
Therefore, the point before the translation is (4,11).
that is wrong
Apologies again for the mistake in my previous response.
To reverse the translation, we need to move the point three units up and one unit to the right.
If the endpoint after the translation is (5,8), to find the original point, we need to add three to the y-coordinate and subtract one from the x-coordinate.
Adding three to 8, we get 8 + 3 = 11.
Subtracting one from 5, we get 5 - 1 = 4.
Therefore, the point before the translation is (4, 11).
the answer, (4,11), IS WRONG
Apologies for the confusion caused by my previous incorrect responses.
To find the original point before the translation, we need to reverse the translation. Since the line segment was translated three units down and one unit to the left, we need to move it three units up and one unit to the right.
If one of the endpoints after the translation is (5,8), we can find the original point by doing the opposite operations.
To move three units up from the y-coordinate of 8, we subtract three: 8 - 3 = 5.
To move one unit to the right from the x-coordinate of 5, we add one: 5 + 1 = 6.
Therefore, the original point before the translation is (6,5).
that is also wrong
