You start a search for a buried object by marking the center of a field as (0,0), with coordinates giving distance in yards. Coordinates to The north or east are positive, and coordinates to the south or west are negative. You find nothing at (-10, 6), so you try a likely looking spot 3 yards to the east and 12 yards to the south of the first spot. what are the coordinates of the second spot? please helpp

Answer 1

The coordinates of the second spot are:

X-coordinate: -10 + 3 = -7 (3 yards to the east)
Y-coordinate: 6 - 12 = -6 (12 yards to the south)

So the coordinates of the second spot are (-7, -6).
