Question

If the point (2, 5) is shifted 3 units right and 2 units down, what are its new coordinates?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The new coordinate is $\left(5,3\right)$

Step 1. Given Information

We are given point $\left(2,5\right)$

The points has to be shifted 3 units right and 2 units down.

Step 2. Finding new coordinate

3 units right of the point is $\left(2+3,5\right)=\left(5,5\right)$

2 units down of the point is $\left(5,5-2\right)=\left(5,3\right)$
