Explanation:

Step1: Identify original coordinates

Original points: $E(-1, 3)$, $F(8, 3)$, $G(0, 0)$

Step2: Apply translation rule

Translation 8 units down: subtract 8 from $y$-coordinate.
New $E$: $(-1, 3-8)=(-1, -5)$
New $F$: $(8, 3-8)=(8, -5)$
New $G$: $(0, 0-8)=(0, -8)$

Step3: Plot new points

Plot $(-1, -5)$, $(8, -5)$, $(0, -8)$ and connect.

Answer:

The vertices of the translated triangle are $E'(-1, -5)$, $F'(8, -5)$, $G'(0, -8)$. When these points are plotted and connected, they form the image of triangle $EFG$ after translating 8 units down.
