Question

A player moves a knight from location (3, 2) to (5, 1) on a chessboard. If the bottom-left square is labeled (1, 1), which description matches the translation?

2 squares up, 1 square right

1 square down, 2 squares left

1 square down, 2 squares right

2 squares down, 1 square right

Answer 1

1 square down, 2 squares right

Explanation:

Answer 2

First we have to note which number represents which axis. As a general rule x axis represents first number. It describes if figure is moving left or right.

Second number is y axis and it describes if figure is moving up or down.

Now that we said that we can see that x axis increased by 2 while y axis decreased by 1. Description that matches is:

1 square down and 2 squares right.
