Question

You move down 3 units and right 6 units. You end at (4, -5). Where did you start?

Answer 1

Answer:

(7,-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

x'=x-3

or x=x'+3=4+3=7

y'=y+6

y=y'-6

or y=-5-6=-11

so original point was (7,-11)

Answer 2

1. Answer:

(-2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, you only know the coordinates of the final point and the distance moved in order to get there (which was moving 3 units down and 6 units to the right). If you want to find the starting point, you simply have to go backwards by subtracting 3 from -5 because the y coordinates move upwards/downwards, and then subtracting 6 from 4 because the x coordinates go left/right in order to get your final answer, (-2, -2).
