Question

we can use point a to help us find the change in vertical and horizontal distance from (4, 2) to (x, y). how could you express the coordinates of point a? the coordinates of point a are (\square, \square).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x-coordinate of A

Point A shares the x-coordinate of $(x,y)$, so it is $x$.

Step2: Identify y-coordinate of A

Point A shares the y-coordinate of $(4,2)$, so it is $2$.

Answer:

$(x, 2)$
