Question

Some friends plotted the location of their house is at (1,6).Jordan’s house is at (5,3).What is one possible path from Brianna’s house to Jordan’s house? Go right how many blocks Then go down how many blocks

Answer 1

If we assume that

• Brianna's house is at (1, 6)
• coordinates are (x, y) coordinates or equivalent
• "go right" means "go in the +x direction"
• "go down" means "go in the -y direction"

The difference in coordinates between Jordan's house and Brianna's house is

... (5,3) - (1, 6) = (5-1, 3-6) = (4, -3)

This means the x-value at Jordan's house is 4 more than at Brianna's house. One would have to go 4 blocks in the +x direction to cover that distance.

It also means the y-value at Jordan's house is 3 less than at Brianna's house. One would have to go 3 blocks in the -y direction to cover that distance.

To get from Brianna's to Jordan's, one path could be ...

... go right 4 blocks, go down 3 blocks.
