Responses


(−1, −2)

(2, 4)

(−7, 4)

(−6, 6)

Answer 1

(d) (-6, 6)

Explanation:

You want to know which of the offered points is 3 units to the left of one of the vertices of HIJKL.

3 Left

All of the points of HIJKL are in the 2nd Quadrant. Shifting them left does not change that, so choices (-1, -2) in the 3rd Quadrant, and (2, 4) in the 1st Quadrant can immediately be eliminated.

When you locate point (-7, 4) on the graph, you find it is 2 units left of point L, not 3. Point (-6, 6) is 3 units left of H.
