Worked example
On a coordinate grid, start at (0, 0), move 3 units right and 4 units up. What ordered pair names the final point?
Answer & why
Answer: (3, 4)
The first coordinate records horizontal movement: x = 3. The second records vertical movement: y = 4. The point is (3, 4).

Question 1
On a coordinate grid, start at (0, 0), move 7 units right and 1 units up. What ordered pair names the final point?
- (-7, 1)
- (7, 1)
- (1, 7)
- (7, -1)
A hint
Read an ordered pair as (horizontal coordinate, vertical coordinate).
Answer & why
Answer: (7, 1)
The first coordinate records horizontal movement: x = 7. The second records vertical movement: y = 1. The point is (7, 1).
