Question

You start at (2, 3). You move up 6 units. Where do you end?

Answer 1

(2,9)

Explanation:

we start at the point (2,3) and moving up 6 units

when we move up or down, we are changing the value of the y-coordinate. Since we are moving up, the value of the y-coordinate increases (makes sense, if you are thinking about a graph. The further you go up, the larger the y value becomes).

However, the x-coordinate will stay the same (no instructions on moving left or right {that changes the x value}). That means the y value will increase by 6 while the x value will stay the same.

so add 6 to 3 and get 9, and add nothing to 2

therefore, the point we end on will be (2,9)
