This skill teaches how to determine coordinates on a cartesian grid based on directional movements. It explains converting rightward and downward movements into positive and negative values in x, y coordinate pairs.
Cartesian grid direction to coordinates
Test your understanding of cartesian grid direction to coordinates by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
What would the coordinates be for a move right by 3 and down by 4
🎙️
Coordinate are in x, y pairs where x means right and y means up.
🎙️
The first coordinate is how far right, and that's 3
🎙️
The second coordinate is how far up, so down is a negative value. We get negative 4.
🎙️
Putting these into a coordinate pair, we have 3 comma negative 4.
