Final answer:

Starting at (-5, 3), moving right 8 units and up 1 unit results in the new coordinates (3, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

When you start at the point (-5, 3) and move right 8 units and up 1 unit, you are performing a translation on a coordinate plane. Moving right 8 units increases the x-coordinate by 8, and moving up 1 unit increases the y-coordinate by 1. Therefore, the new location would be the original point plus these changes.

  • Starting point: (-5, 3)
  • Move right 8 units: -5 + 8 = 3
  • Move up 1 unit: 3 + 1 = 4

The ending point is (3, 4).
