(-3,4)

(-3,-4) he would go left than down if that was the situation

@kali96748 It says he took four steps to the right, so it would be (-3,4)

(4, -3)

anonymous · Answer

But he went into the third quadrant which is the bottom left. He went from the top left to the bottom left, I think

In an ordered pair, the first coordinate is the x and the second is the y.  The diagram above is correct.  +4 along x axis and -3 along y-axis and so (4, -3)

@ranga Oh yeah, I wasn't even thinking about that.
