Start at a point of (1,5)
Move 2 spaces up, 3 spaces left
What point are you located at?
Moving up
Moving up means a positive y value
Add 2 to our y-coordinate to get:
5 + 2 = 7
We are now at the point (1,7)
Moving left
Moving left means a negative x value
We subtract 3 from our x-coordinate to get:
1 - 3 = -2
We are now at the point (-2,7)
Determine final coordinates:
(-2,7)
How does the Relative Coordinates Calculator work?
Free Relative Coordinates Calculator - Given a starting point (x1,y1), this will determine your relative coordinates after moving up, down, left, and right.
This calculator has 5 inputs.
What 4 formulas are used for the Relative Coordinates Calculator?
Move right, we increase x
Move left, we decrease x
Move up, we increase y
Move down, we decease y
What 3 concepts are covered in the Relative Coordinates Calculator?
- coordinates
- A set of values that show an exact position
- point
- an exact location in the space, and has no length, width, or thickness
- relative coordinates
- coordinates specified in relation to previous coordinates
