Point P is at (2, 5) on a coordinate grid. It moves 3 units right and 3 units down. What are the coordinates of its new position?
A (5, 9)
B (2, 5)
C (5, 2)
D (6, 2)
Correct answer: C — (5, 2)
- Right/left changes the first number (x); up/down changes the second number (y).
- x: 2 + 3 = 5. y: 5 − 3 = 2.
- New position: (5, 2).
- Why the other options are wrong:
- A ((5, 9)): Check the direction: 'up' increases y, 'down' decreases y.
- B ((2, 5)): The first number is the horizontal (x) distance, the second is the vertical (y).
- D ((6, 2)): Check the direction: 'left' decreases x, 'right' increases x.
Coordinates are (across, up): left/right changes the first number, up/down changes the second.
