Question

Find Ax and ly for this pair of coordinates. (0,5) (4,-3) Change in y Change in x

Answer 1

Given the coordinates (0,5) and (4,-3), we're asked to find the change in y and change in x;

Please note that the 1st figure always represents the x value while the 2nd one is the y value;

To find the Change in y, we'll have;

$\begin{gathered} \Delta y=y_2-y_1 \\ =-3-5 \\ =-8 \end{gathered}$

To find the Change in x, we'll have;

$\begin{gathered} \Delta x=x_2-x_1 \\ =4-0 \\ =4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the Change in y is -8 and Change in x is 4.
