The x coordinates move a point to the left and to the right, where as they y coordinates move a point up and down.

Adding a positive number to an x coordinate will ALWAYS move the point to the right, while adding a negative number (subtracting an number) from the x coordinate will ALWAYS move the point to the left.

Here is an example:

Let P = (2,3) //note that all points are listed like this (x-coordinate, y-coordinate)

// that means 2 is the x value and 3 is the y value

If you add the x value + 4, you get 6. That shifts the point to the right one unit, without change the y value. The new point would be (6,3).

If you add the y value - 4, you get -2. That shifts the point to the left two units, without change the y value. The new point would be (-2,3).

What is a horizontal line on a graph?

On a 2 dimensional graph, the Y value is the same in each point on a horizontal line. The X value, however, changes. For example, the line Y=7 is an horizontal line; The Y value for every point on the line is 7, yet the X value changes. It is worth pointing out that the line will be straight.

What does percent of change means?

It is expressing a change in the value of something as a percentage of its original value. So, if the original value (V) changes to the new value (W) then the change is W - V. Then, the relative change is (W - V)/V and the percentage change is 100*(W - V)/V = 100*(W/V - 1)
