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 the point before the translation?
To find the original point before the translation, we need to undo the translation that was applied.
Given that the translation was three units down and one unit to the left, we need to move three units up and one unit to the right to find the original point.
If one of the end points after the translation is (5, 8), the original point before the translation would be:
Original point = (5+1, 8+3)
Original point = (6, 11)
Therefore, the original point before the translation was (6, 11).
