Predict the result
Plot the source’s five ordered pairs and identify their quadrants.
Which coordinate controls left and right?

Set up the model
Read x first for horizontal movement.
Then read y for vertical movement.

Work the example
For the point negative five comma four, move five units left and four units up.
That point is in Quadrant Two.
The five source points are in Quadrants Two, Three, Four, Two, and One.
Signs identify the quadrant when neither coordinate is zero.

Check the result
Now plot the five check points and name their quadrants.
Take eight seconds to think before the answer appears.
[Eight-second silent pause to work; the answer remains hidden.]
Their quadrants are Two, Three, Four, Two, and Two.
The last point has negative x and positive y.

Interpret the result
Changing coordinate order usually changes the point.
Use the original task and check that your result fits its meaning.
