1. An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, the image decoding method comprising:
deriving an inherited candidate based on a block coded in an affine motion model among neighboring blocks of a current block;
deriving a constructed candidate based on a combination of candidate motion vectors for control points (CPs) of the current block;
