Elevator 1 in a building moved from ground position to a final position of +13 feet. Elevator 2 in the same building moved from
ground to a final position of −10 feet. Which statement best describes the final positions of these two elevators? Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below the position of Elevator 1.
Elevator 1 is 13 feet below ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet above the position of Elevator 1.
Elevator 1 is 13 feet below ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet above ground level.
Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below ground level.
The correct answer I believe you are looking for is D. Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below ground level.
<u>Explaination:</u>
This is because if you start at (0, 0) Elevator one, will go up 13 on the y axis. Putting it at 13 feet above ground level. If you start Elevator 2 at ground level on (0, 0) and go down 10 it will make it -10 AKA 10 feet below ground level.
