Question
You are an astronaut exploring a distant planet🪐. Your spacecraft🚀 is at coordinates (-3, 4), and you move 5 units to the right and 3 units down. The new coordinates of your spacecraft are (7,2)
Solution
The statement is incorrect. If you start at coordinates (-3, 4) and move 5 units to the right, your x-coordinate increases by 5, giving you a new x-coordinate of (-3 + 5) = 2. If you then move 3 units down, your y-coordinate decreases by 3, giving you a new y-coordinate of (4 - 3) = 1. Therefore, the new coordinates of your spacecraft would be (2, 1), not (7, 2).
