Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The starting point is at . When we move up or down we are moving along the -axis. When we move to the right or left we are moving along the -axis. 

Moving up the -axis and moving right on the -axis means addition. 

Moving down the -axis and moving left on the axis means subtraction. 

Because we are moving down , we can subtract  from our  coordinate point and because we are moving to the left  we can subtract  from our coordinate point. 

Example Question #192 : Coordinate Geometry

Example Question #1 : Understand Categories And Subcategories Of Two Dimensional Figures: Ccss.Math.Content.5.G.B.3

Which of the following shapes is NOT a quadrilateral? 

Possible Answers:

Rhombus

Triangle

Kite

Rectangle 

Square

Correct answer:

Triangle

Explanation:

A quadrilateral is any two-dimensional shape with   sides. The only shape listed that does not have  sides is a triangle. 

Example Question #42 : Geometry

What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?

Possible Answers:

The number of sides they each have 

Their side lengths 

Their angle measurments

The sum of their angles 

Their color 

Correct answer:

Their side lengths 

Explanation:

The only difference between a rectangle and a square is their side lengths. A square has to have  equal side lengths, but the opposite side lengths of a rectangle only have to be equal.
