So it would be (x+3, Y-3) ? Did I do that correctly?

I usually get mixed up between the up and down, and the right and left stuff. :P Anyways thank you once again, I literally spent like 20 minutes thinking which way it went. :P I feel silly now

No need to feel silly. :) We all get mixed up. Even Albert Einstein was stumped on one of his own problems and never solved it. Shockingly a 15 year old boy was the first to solve it.
