Describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down

A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

A point is at (3, -1). If we translate it 4 units to the right and 2 units up, what are the new coordinates?

Question 2 of 3

A pawn in a board game starts on the grid at (5, 1). First it slides 6 squares left, then 2 squares right, then 4 squares up, and finally 1 square down. Which sentence correctly describes the pawn’s overall movement from its starting spot to its ending spot?

Question 3 of 3

How many units and in which direction does a point move from (2, 3) to (5, 3)?
