More questions

Question 1 Easy

A point is at (3, 5). It moves 2 squares down. What are the new coordinates?

Show answer

Answer: (3, 3)

  1. Moving down changes only the y-coordinate.
  2. y: 5 − 2 = 3.
  • Method (1): Moving down changes only the y-coordinate.
  • Accuracy (1): Answer (3, 3)

Question 2 Easy

A point is at (4, 0). It moves 3 squares left. What are the new coordinates?

Show answer

Answer: (1, 0)

  1. Moving left changes only the x-coordinate.
  2. x: 4 − 3 = 1.
