Tanya drove 4 miles south and 3 miles west. Using a coordinate plane to represent her trip, let the y-axis run north and south, let the x-axis run east and west, and let her original position be the intersection of the axes. Which ordered pair best represents her final location?

-3 -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-3.-4) Written like that.

It is written as (-3,-4). The reason is because if you move west then you go to negative integers. This is similar to be going to the left. The reason for why it is written as (-4) because you are going south, meaning downwards.
