a flood moves your house exactly 4 blocks to the left and 2 blocks down. what are your new coordinates for the location of the house?

To determine the new coordinates of your house after the flood moves it, you need to start with the original coordinates. Let's represent the original coordinates as (x,y).

  • Moving 4 blocks to the left means you will subtract 4 from the x-coordinate.
  • Moving 2 blocks down means you will subtract 2 from the y-coordinate.

So, the new coordinates (x′,y′) after the flood would be:

x′=x−4 y′=y−2

Thus, your new coordinates will be (x−4,y−2). If you provide the original coordinates, I can give you the specific new coordinates.

(x - 4, y -2)

A. (2,2) would be A ( 2 - 4, 2-2) the New coordinates are (-2,0)
(x - 4, y -2)

A. (2,2) would be A ( 2 - 4, 2-2) the New coordinates are (-2,0)
