Please help!! I give medals!!
George drove 12 miles south and 9 miles east. Using a coordinate plane to represent his trip, let the y-axis run north and south, let the x-axis run east and west, and let his original position be the intersection of the axes. Which ordered pair best represents his final location?

(3, -4)
(-4, 3)
(-12, 9)
(9, -12)

Answer 1

South: v
East: >

Answer 2

starting from (0,0)-the origin, you're going 9 miles east, which is to the right and + direction in X axis, then you go 12 miles on Y axis, which is negative when going down so
(9,-12)

Answer 3

Remember, when plotting a point you crawl first (>, <), then you climb (v, ^)

Answer 4

So it would be (9, 12)

Answer 5
