Geometry Difficulty 2.9 Junior Find the answer

Point P(2,3)P(-2,-3) is moved 11 unit to the left and then 33 units up. The coordinates of the resulting point are:

Pick one

Solution

To solve this problem, we follow the instructions given for moving the point P(2,3)P(-2,-3):

1. Moving 11 unit to the left means decreasing the x-coordinate by 11. Therefore, the new x-coordinate is calculated as:
21=3. -2 - 1 = -3.

2. Moving 33 units up means increasing the y-coordinate by 33. Therefore, the new y-coordinate is calculated as:
3+3=0. -3 + 3 = 0.

Combining these two steps, we find that the coordinates of the resulting point after these movements are (3,0)(-3,0).

Therefore, the correct answer is A\boxed{\text{A}}.
