Question

where would point a be if it were moved left 5 and down 4?
a) (2,4)
b) (2,1)
c) (2,5)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the new x - coordinate

When a point is moved left on the x - axis, we subtract the number of units moved from the original x - coordinate. The original x - coordinate of point A is \(x = 7\). Moving it left 5 units: \(x_{new}=7 - 5=2\).

Step2: Calculate the new y - coordinate

When a point is moved down on the y - axis, we subtract the number of units moved from the original y - coordinate. The original y - coordinate of point A is \(y = 5\). Moving it down 4 units: \(y_{new}=5 - 4 = 1\).

Answer:

B. \((2,1)\)
