If the point (1,8) is shifted 5 units to the right and 3 units down, what are it’s new coordinates?

Answer 1

If we shift something right 5 units, its coordinate for x will be +5 to the original point. If we shift it 3 down, that subtracts 3 from the original. Thus the new coordinate will be (1+5, 8-3) or (6, 5).
