You start a search for a buried object by marking the center of a field as (0, 0), with coordinates giving distances in yards. Coordinates to the north or east are positive, and coordinates to the south or west are negative. You find nothing at (–5, 3), so you try a likely looking spot 6 yards to the east and 5 yards to the south of the first spot. What are the coordinates of the second spot? (1 point)
(0, 0)
(–9, –5)
(–3, –2)
(1, –2)
The coordinates of the second spot would be (1, -2).
Starting from the first spot at (-5, 3), moving 6 yards to the east would give us a new x-coordinate of -5 + 6 = 1. Then, moving 5 yards to the south would give us a new y-coordinate of 3 - 5 = -2.
Therefore, the second spot has coordinates (1, -2).
To find the coordinates of the second spot, we start from the first spot at (-5, 3) and move 6 yards to the east and 5 yards to the south.
Moving 6 yards to the east means increasing the x-coordinate by 6. So, the x-coordinate would be -5 + 6 = 1.
Moving 5 yards to the south means decreasing the y-coordinate by 5. So, the y-coordinate would be 3 - 5 = -2.
Therefore, the coordinates of the second spot are (1, -2).
