Question

You start at (2, 7). You move up 3 units. Where do you end?

Answer 1

2,10

Explanation:

The X-axis goes horizontally, and the Y-axis goes vertically, and when doing these coordinate like things, the X-axis goes first, and the Y-axis goes second. So 2 is the X-axis, and 7 is the Y-axis. So if you have to move up 3 units, you have to add 3 to 7, because 7 is vertical and 2 is horizontal.

Answer 2

(2, 10)

Explanation:

Since we are only focusing on vertical movement, we are looking at the y-value. We are moving up 3 units, so we just add 3 to 7 to get 10.
