Question

You move right 2 units and left 10 units. You end at (-5, -1). Where did you start?

Answer 1

(-13,-1)

Explanation:

Moving right means moving positively on the x-axis

Moving left means moving negatively on the x-axis

Follow the equation backwards using the x-coordinate:

Move left 10 units-- -5-10 = -15

Move right 2 units-- -15+2 = -13

Since the y-coordinate did not change, the point you started at is (-13,-1)
