You start at (3, -2). You move up 5 units. Where do you end?

Answer: (3,3)
Explanation: you would end up at (3, 3) because you are originally given (3, 2) and the order goes (x, y). x is the placement on the horizontal line when y is the placement on the vertical line. So since you are starting at 3 to the right and 2 below zero you would move up 5 and get to (3, 3). :)

Answer:

You would end at (3, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

You would plot your first mark at 3 on a typical xy graph because the first number in ()'s is always x (horizontal line).

Second, because your second mark is y (vertical line), you would plot -2 on the vertical axis.

Your y plot would be 5 more than -2 because you're traveling up five units, giving you (3, 3).
