Question

If the graph of a linear function goes through the point (2, 3), which of the following represents the point on the graph ofthe linear function after a vertical change 5 units down?A)(2,3)B)(-3, 3)C)(2,-2)D)(2,7)

Answer 1

Answer

Option C is correct.

(2, -2)

Explanation

When a coordinate A (x, y) is moved vertically downwards by n units, the new coordinates are A' (x, y - 5).

So, for this question, when the coordinates is moved 5 units vertically downwards, the change in coordinates is

A (2, 3) = A' (2, 3 - 5) = A' (2, -2)

Hope this Helps!!!
