Answer:

To find Bao's new location after traveling 5 blocks down and 2 blocks right, we can start from his initial location and move accordingly.

Let's assume Bao's initial coordinates are (x, y). When he travels 5 blocks down, his y-coordinate decreases by 5. After that, when he travels 2 blocks right, his x-coordinate increases by 2.

So, the new coordinates would be (x + 2, y - 5).

Since we don't know the exact initial coordinates (x, y) of Bao, we cannot provide the specific ordered pair. However, you can use the above formula to calculate the new coordinates based on Bao's initial location.

For example, if Bao's initial coordinates are (3, 8), the new coordinates would be (3 + 2, 8 - 5) = (5, 3). So, Bao's new location would be represented by the ordered pair (5, 3).

To plot this point on the coordinate plane, you would go 5 units to the right (positive x-direction) from the origin and then 3 units down (negative y-direction) from that point. Label the plotted point as "Bao."
