Point A is plotted at (4, -2) on this one-centimetre square grid - OCR - GCSE Maths - Question 7 - 2020 - Paper 3

Since point A is at (4, -2), the diagonally opposite corner of the square will be opposite at a distance of the side length in both x and y directions.

The movement will be as follows:

• Move 6 cm to the right (adding 6 to the x-coordinate): $4 + 6 = 10$
• Move 6 cm upwards (adding 6 to the y-coordinate): $-2 + 6 = 4$

Thus, one possible coordinate for the opposite corner of the square is (10, 4).

Furthermore, the other possible coordinate can be obtained by moving left and downward:

• Move 6 cm to the left (subtracting 6 from the x-coordinate): $4 - 6 = -2$
• Move 6 cm downward (subtracting 6 from the y-coordinate): $-2 - 6 = -8$

This gives a second possible coordinate of (-2, -8).
