This math topic focuses on interpreting Cartesian coordinates to determine directions based on given vector changes. Each question presents a pair of (x,y) coordinates, and students are tasked with identifying the correct directional movement (e.g., "Right 2, Up 3") from multiple choices. The problems aim to enhance understanding of spatial relationships and vector navigation on a Cartesian grid, providing a foundational skill for more complex vector and coordinate geometry discussions.
