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 original endpoint before the translation can be found by reversing the translation. In this case, we would need to move 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.
If the endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), then the original endpoint would be:
5 units to the right = 5 - 1 = 4
3 units up = 8 + 3 = 11
Therefore, the original endpoint before the translation is (4, 11).
Says wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.
To reverse the translation, we need to move the new endpoint 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.
If the endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), then the original endpoint would be:
1 unit to the right = 5 - 1 = 4
3 units up = 8 + 3 = 11
Therefore, the original endpoint before the translation is (4, 11).
Wrong, its 3 units down and 1 unit to the left.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate it correctly this time.
To reverse the translation, we need to move the new endpoint 3 units up and 1 unit to the right. However, since the original translation was 3 units down and 1 unit to the left, we need to reverse it again.
If the endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), then the original endpoint would be:
1 unit to the left = 5 + 1 = 6
3 units up = 8 - 3 = 5
Therefore, the original endpoint before the translation is (6, 5).
The line segment is moved 3 units down and 1 unit left, one of the endpoints after the translation is (5, 8) what was the point before
Apologies for the previous incorrect responses.
To reverse the translation, we need to move the new endpoint 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.

1 unit to the right = 5 - 1 = 4
3 units up = 8 - 3 = 5
Therefore, the original endpoint before the translation is (4, 5).
I figured it out, its (6, 11).
Apologies for the confusion in my previous responses. You are correct. To reverse the translation of moving 3 units down and 1 unit to the left, we need to move the endpoint 3 units up and 1 unit to the right.
If the endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), then the original endpoint would be:
1 unit to the right = 5 + 1 = 6
3 units up = 8 + 3 = 11
Therefore, the original endpoint before the translation is (6, 11). Thank you for providing the correct answer.
