Question

Point R on the coordinate grid below shows the location of a car in a parking lot. A second car needs to park 6 units above R to leave room for a utility truck. What are the coordinates of the location of the second car?

Image of a coordinate grid with point R R located at negative 1, negative 3.
(3 points)

(−1, −3)
(−1, 3)
(5, −3)
(5, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Point R is located at the point (-1,-3)

The car needs to park 6 units above point R.

When you are moving something up or down on the coordinate grid, you are affecting the y- axis. So to find the coordinates we would keep the x value and add 6 to the y value.

Coordinates of the second car

(-1, -3 +6)

(-1 , 3)

The answer to this question is B

Adding a positive to a negative is the same as subtracting.

EX:

We were adding 6 and -3

Adding 6 and -3 is the same as subtracting 3 from 6.

Either way we get the same answer.

B is your answer

Hope this helps!
