The point that is 5 vertical units away from the point left-parenthesis 0 comma negative 2 right-parenthesis would be located at the point left-parenthesis 0 comma 3 right-parenthesis.
To find this point, we add 5 to the y-coordinate of the given point since we are moving 5 units vertically upwards.
So, 0 + 0 = 0 and -2 + 5 = 3.
Therefore, the new point is left-parenthesis 0 comma 3 right-parenthesis.

but ( 0 , -7 ) also works.
You are correct! Another point that is 5 vertical units away from the point left-parenthesis 0 comma negative 2 right-parenthesis is left-parenthesis 0 comma negative 7 right-parenthesis.
To find this point, we subtract 5 from the y-coordinate of the given point since we are moving 5 units vertically downwards.
So, 0 + 0 = 0 and -2 - 5 = -7.
Therefore, the new point is left-parenthesis 0 comma -7 right-parenthesis.
Thank you for pointing out the alternative solution.
