Question

Aaron is shown the coordinate grid below with a point plotted on it.

He must plot a second point on the plane using the following:
Start at the plotted point. Add 3 to the x-coordinate. Add 2 to the y-coordinate.

Which ordered pair should Aaron plot on the grid?

• A. (8,3)
• B. (3,7)
• C. (2,5)
• D. (3,3)

Answer 1

The correct option is B (3,7)

The ordered pair for the location of the initial point is given by (0,5).

Here
x-coordinate = 0
y-coordinate = 5

Add 3 to the x-coordinate and 2 to the y-coordinate. The new ordered pair is (0 + 3,5 + 2) = (3,7), i.e.,
