Question

Point P is plotted on the coordinate grid. If point S is 6 units above point P, what are the coordinates of point S?

Answer 1

The coordinates of point S is (x, y + 6)

Explanation:

Given: Point P is plotted on the coordinate grid.

The coordinates of point P is not known.

Let's take the coordinates of point P is (x, y)

The point S is located 6 units above the point P.

Above 6 units means the coordinate y moves 6 units up and the coordinate x remains the same.

x ---> x

y ----> y + 6

Therefore, the coordinates of point S is (x, y + 6)

Answer 2

If the coordinates of point P are (x, y), adding 6 to the y-value make point S have coordinates (x, y+6).
