Question

Point P on the coordinate grid below shows the location of a stage light. A second stage light is 8 units above P. The length of each square on the grid is 2 units. What are the coordinates of the location of the second stage light?

A four-quadrant coordinate grid from negative 16 to positive 16 in increments of 2 is drawn. Point P is plotted on the ordered pair 4, negative 2.

(4, 6)
(4, −10)
(12, 6)
(12, −10)

Answer 1

(4, 6)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(4, 6)

Explanation:

The second point is 8 units up from the first, so its y-coordinate is 8 more than -2. Its x-coordinate is unchanged. Its location on the grid is (4, 6).

_____

(4, -2) +(0, 8) = (4, 6)
