Answer 1

To calculate the changes in the x and y coordinates from point A (1, 6) to point B (3, 0), we follow these steps:

1. **Identify the coordinates of points A and B:**
- Point A: (1, 6)
- Point B: (3, 0)

2. **Calculate the change in x (Δx):**
- From A to B: \( \Delta x = x_B - x_A = 3 - 1 = 2 \)

3. **Calculate the change in y (Δy):**
- From A to B: \( \Delta y = y_B - y_A = 0 - 6 = -6 \)

Now, we can fill in the blanks:

From **A** to **B**, the change in **x** is **2**.

From **A** to **B**, the change in **y** is **-6**.
