Question

you start at (-2, 1). you move left 1 unit. where do you end?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate movement rules

Moving left/right affects the x - coordinate (left decreases x, right increases x), moving up/down affects the y - coordinate (up increases y, down decreases y).

Step2: Calculate new x - coordinate

Start at \(x=-2\), move left 1 unit. So new \(x=-2 - 1=-3\).

Step3: Determine y - coordinate

Since we only move left (no vertical movement), the y - coordinate remains \(y = 1\).

Answer:

\((-3,1)\)
