I need Help.

Rylee88:

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?

QuestionCoveBot:

What is R's location on the graph?

Rylee88:

Oh, -2

QuestionCoveBot:

That would be the y-coordinate. What is the x-coordinate?

Rylee88:

-4?

QuestionCoveBot:

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?

Rylee88:

Add?

QuestionCoveBot:

Yes. Add -4 and 5.

Rylee88:

9

Rylee88:

?

Extrinix:

add that in for x and you have your answer.

Rylee88:

x9?

QuestionCoveBot:

No, not 9.

QuestionCoveBot:

-4+5 is like 5-4. What is 5-4 then?

Rylee88:

uh, 1?

QuestionCoveBot:

Yes. x is 1. What is your new coordinates now, y still being -2?

Rylee88:

yes?

QuestionCoveBot:

You added -4+5 making it 1. Y never changed. Y is -2. X is 1. Your new coordinates are...?

QuestionCoveBot:

@rylee88 ?

Rylee88:

sorry

Rylee88:

My new Cordinates are 1?

QuestionCoveBot:

That is for x. X=1 What is y then? Remember, y stayed the same. Y is -2.

Rylee88:

so the answe is 1 -2?

QuestionCoveBot:

Yes. Car B's coordinates are (1,-2). Good job.

Rylee88:

Thanks

QuestionCoveBot:

Yw.
