Question

Ursula was plotting points on a graph. The next points were (-8, -6). When she moves -6 spaces, which direction will she need to go?

Answer 1

When Ursula moves -6 spaces, she is moving in the negative direction along the y-axis. On a Cartesian coordinate system, the negative direction for the y-coordinate means she will be moving downwards. Therefore, she will need to go down 6 spaces from her current point (-8, -6).
