Question

Starting at the origin (0,0), what is the ordered pair of a value that is 4 units to the left and 5 units up?

Answer

(-4,5)

  • Identify the starting point (0,0).
  • Move 4 units to the left, this means subtracting 4 from the x-coordinate, which gives (-4,0).
  • Move 5 units up, this means adding 5 to the y-coordinate, which gives (-4,5).
