You move down 6 units. You end at (10, 4). Where did you start?

If you move DOWN, then that means you are moving in the "y" direction (up and down).

Thus, you are moving the unit "4" not "10". Since you are moving down, you must add to know where your starting position is. You add "4" and "6" together to make "10".

Answer:

You start at (10,10)

Answer:

(10,10)

Explanation:

coordinates are (x,y)

x is horizontal(left and right), y is vertical (up and down)

going down 6 means subtracting 6 from the second number

lets reverse that to go up and add 6 back

4+6=10

so the original point was (10,10)
