Question

On a coordinate grid. Anne's house is located 4 blocks to the right and 3 blocks up from ( 0.0) dan's house is located 2 blocks to the left and 1 block up from anne's house . what ordered pair describes the location of dan's house ?

Answer 1

( -2, 1 )

Explanation:

When you go left on a coordinate plane, you are moving in a negative direction, therefore when they say left, you know it is a negative number. In this case, he is left two, or negative two.

In the same way, positive means to go up, not down. So if Dan is going up, so is the number, therefore it's positive. Up one would mean positive one.

Hopefully this helped!
