Read each word problem carefully and use the coordinate plane to help you solve them. Show your work where necessary.

1. A treasure map shows the starting point at (2, 3). The first clue tells you to move 4 units to the right and 2 units down. What are the coordinates of the new location?

2. A bird flew from its nest at (1, 7) to a berry bush at (1, 2). The distance the bird flew is units.

3. A dog walked from a tree at (-3, 4) to a fire hydrant at (5, 4). How many units did the dog walk?

4. If a point is located at (3, -5) and reflected across the x-axis, what will be its new coordinates?

(3, 5)

(-3, -5)

(-3, 5)

(5, -3)

5. Reflecting a point across the y-axis changes the sign of its x-coordinate.

True
