I need Help.
Point R on the coordinate grid below shows the location of a car in a parking lot. A second car needs to park 5 units above R to leave room for a utility truck. What are the coordinates of the location of the second car?
What is R's location on the graph?
Oh, -2
That would be the y-coordinate. What is the x-coordinate?
-4?
Yes. Now you state that the second car has to park 5 units above Car A. Car A (-4,-2) 5 units above, so what do you have to do? Add or subtract?

Add?
Yes. Add -4 and 5.
9
?
add that in for x and you have your answer.
x9?
No, not 9.
-4+5 is like 5-4. What is 5-4 then?
uh, 1?
Yes. x is 1. What is your new coordinates now, y still being -2?
yes?
You added -4+5 making it 1. Y never changed. Y is -2. X is 1. Your new coordinates are...?
@rylee88 ?
sorry
My new Cordinates are 1?
That is for x. X=1 What is y then? Remember, y stayed the same. Y is -2.
so the answe is 1 -2?
Yes. Car B's coordinates are (1,-2). Good job.
Thanks
Yw.
