An emergency alarm sounded inside a large space station, and a rescue beacon sent a map with grid coordinates. Emek and Luna needed to find the stranded crew quickly. The beacon showed locations such as (4,6), (2,3), and (7,1), marking different compartments. They plotted each point on the station map and followed the coordinates to the correct areas. After checking each location carefully, they reached the crew compartment and completed the rescue mission. The crew was safe because Emek and Luna used the grid correctly.

Hint
Compare the x-coordinates. The smallest x-value is farthest left.
The rescue beacon shows the compartment locations (4,6), (2,3), and (7,1). Which location is the farthest to the left on the station map?
(2,3)(4,6)(7,1)(6,4)Correct! The point with the smallest x-coordinate is (2,3), so it is farthest left.
Remember that the first number in a coordinate pair shows the horizontal position.

Hint
Find the difference between the two x-coordinates.
The rescue team travels from the compartment at (2,3) to the compartment at (7,1). How many units does the x-coordinate change?
Correct! The x-coordinate changes from 2 to 7, which is 5 units.
Use only the first number in each coordinate pair to find the x-coordinate change.

Hint
Moving down changes the y-coordinate, while the x-coordinate stays the same.
Emek and Luna check a compartment at (4,6). They move 2 units down while keeping the same x-coordinate. What is the new location?
(2,6)(4,4)(6,4)(4,8)Correct! The x-coordinate stays 4 and the y-coordinate decreases from 6 to 4, giving (4,4).
Check which coordinate changes when moving vertically on a grid.
