Question

An airplane takes off from an airport and travels 1100 miles east and then travels 600 miles north. This trip can be plotted on the coordinate plane, where the airport is the point (0, 0).

Answer 1

The plane is now at (1100, 600) in unit mile

Explanation:

The airport is the point (0 ,0) and the plane travels from there 1100 miles east and thereafter 600 miles north. If the unit is in mile then we may say that the planes co -ordinates are now (1100 , 600)

Since,

positive x -axis points towards east and positive y-axis points towards north.
