you start a search for a buried object by making the center of a field as (0,0) with coordinates to the south or west are negative you find nothing at -12,8 so you try a likely-looking spot 3 yards to the east and 11 yards to the south of the first spot what are the coordinates of the second spot?

a- (-9,19)
b-(-9,-3)
c-(-15,19)
d-(-15,-3)

The coordinates of the first spot are (-12,8). Moving 3 yards to the east means adding 3 to the x-coordinate, giving -12+3=-9. Moving 11 yards to the south means subtracting 11 from the y-coordinate, giving 8-11=-3. Therefore, the coordinates of the second spot are (-9,-3), which is option b.
