Tanner is creating an animated sprite. He wants to find the sprite's current position on a stage. Which coordinate(s) will indicate the sprite's position?

• A. X coordinate
• B. X and Y coordinates
• C. Y coordinate
• D. Width and Height

Answer: (B)

Position on a stage is described using coordinates on a 2D plane. The horizontal location comes from the X coordinate and the vertical location from the Y coordinate. To know exactly where the sprite sits, you need both components. If you only know X, you know left-right placement but not up-down. If you only know Y, you know up-down placement but not left-right. Width and height tell you how big the sprite is, not where it is. So using both X and Y coordinates gives the complete position on the stage.
