Answer:

After the translation, the coordinates of the vertex will be (8, -5).

Explanation:

To translate a point, you simply add or subtract values from its coordinates based on the direction of the translation. In this case, you're translating the rectangle 3 units down.

Given the original vertex at (8, -2), to translate it 3 units down, you'll subtract 3 from the y-coordinate:

Original vertex: (8, -2)

Translation: 3 units down

New y-coordinate: -2 - 3 = -5

So, after the translation, the coordinates of the vertex will be (8, -5).

Someone else said (-6,-6) but they are not right, I worked out on paper and learned about vertices In 11th grade, i hope it helps !
