Question

Paul uses a coordinate plane to design his model town layout. Paul moves the market 2 units left and 3 units down. He says the ordered pair for the new location of the market is (0, 6). Explain Paul's mistake and write the correct ordered pair for the new location of the market.

Answer 1

(1,5) because, before it was at (3,8) and

3 – 2 = 1

8 – 3 = 5

For further explanation:

(3,8) / (2,3) = (1,5)

2 for 2 units left and 3 for 3 units down
