The point $A$ has coordinates $( - 2,7 )$. If $A$ is moved 2 units upward 6 units to the left, what are the new coordinates of $A$ ?
A) $( 0,1 )$
B) $( 4,9 )$
C) $( 0,13 )$
D) $( - 8,9 )$
E) $( 4,5 )$

Moving 2 units upward from $( - 2,7 )$ results in the point $( - 2, 7+2 ) = ( -2, 9)$. Moving 6 units to the left from $( - 2,9 )$ results in the point $( -2-6, 9 ) = ( -8,9 )$, which is our new point for $A$. Thus, the correct answer is \textbf{(D)}.

The Point AAA Has Coordinates (−2,7)( - 2,7 )(−2,7) If AAA Is Moved 2 Units Upward 6 Units to the Left

The Point $A$ Has Coordinates $( - 2,7 )$ If $A$ Is Moved 2 Units Upward 6 Units to the Left
