A student is trying out for the cold line segment on the coordinate grid shown. The student starts at point. (-4,-3) extends the line segment 10 units up from the starting point

1 answer

To extend a line segment 10 units up from the starting point \((-4, -3)\) on a coordinate grid, you will need to add 10 units to the y-coordinate of the starting point while keeping the x-coordinate the same.

The starting point is: \[ (-4, -3) \]

To move upwards, we add 10 to the y-coordinate: \[ y = -3 + 10 = 7 \]

Thus, the new point after extending the line segment 10 units up is: \[ (-4, 7) \]

So, the line segment extends from the point \((-4, -3)\) to the point \((-4, 7)\).
