Question

Sonya and Lucas walk from school to the library they walk 5 blocks south and 4 blocks west to get to the library if the school is located at a point (9,-1 ) on a coordinate map what are the map coordinates of l the library

Answer 1

We are given coordinates of the school located at a point (9,-1).

Library is located 5 blocks south and 4 blocks west .

According to coordinate axes, south is downward and west is on left side.

So, we need to move 5 units down of 9.

5 units down of 9 would be 9-5 = 4.

And then 4 blocks west that mean -1 -4 = -5.

Therefore, coordinate of the library is located at the point (4,-5).
