Question

Which of the following points is the result of moving the point (5, -3) seven units to the left and one unit up?

1: (-2, -2)
2: (-2, -4)
3: (12, 2)
4: (12, -4)

Answer 1

To move the point (5, -3) seven units to the left and one unit up, the new coordinates are (-2, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:

To move the point (5, -3) seven units to the left, we subtract 7 from the x-coordinate. To move it one unit up, we add 1 to the y-coordinate. So, the new coordinates are (5 - 7, -3 + 1), which simplify to (-2, -2). Therefore, option 1: (-2, -2) is the result of moving the point.
