Question

Suppose you start at the orgion, move along the x-axis distance of 4 units in the positive direction, and then move downword a distance of 3 units. What are the coordinates of your position?

Answer 1

Answer: The coordinates of your final position = (4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use coordinate- plane for this as shown below .

Consider the graph below , Starting from the origin (0,0) on the graph , we first move 4 units along the x-axis in positive direction i.e. we move 4 units on the right side of origin (shown by orange line)and reach (4,0).

Now , from (4,0) we then move 3 units downwards i.e. on negative y-axis ( shown by purple line).

We will reach point (4,-3).

i.e. the coordinate of the final position x= 4 and y= -3.

Therefore , the coordinates of your final position = (4,-3)
