Question

use the coordinates of the plotted points to complete the calculation below. pay attention to negative signs.
from a to b, the change in y is
from a to b, the change in x is
(the image shows point a at (1, 6) and point b at (3, 0))

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of A and B

Point A: \((1, 6)\), Point B: \((3, 0)\)

Step2: Calculate change in y (\(\Delta y\))

\(\Delta y = y_B - y_A = 0 - 6 = -6\)

Step3: Calculate change in x (\(\Delta x\))

\(\Delta x = x_B - x_A = 3 - 1 = 2\)

Answer:

Change in y: \(-6\)
Change in x: \(2\)
