I apologize for the mistake.

The correct coordinates of the point before the translation are (6, 8).

Apologies for the confusion. If the endpoint after the translation is (5, 8), to find the coordinates of the point before the translation, we need to reverse the translation.

To do this:
1. Move 1 unit to the right to undo the leftward translation. (5, 8) becomes (6, 8).
2. Move 3 units up to undo the downward translation. (6, 8) becomes (6, 11).

So, the coordinate of the point before the translation is (6, 11).
