Question

Starting at the origin, go five spaces up and three spaces to the left. Which point is plotted using these directions?

Answer 1

Answer:

(-3,5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(-3,5)

Explanation:

If you start at the origin (0), going up 5 spaces will leave you at 5 for your y plot. Then, 3 spaces left leaves you at -3 for your x. However, when writing down plots, you write x before y. So, you are left with (-3,5) as your coordinate plot for the final answer.
