Question

PLS HELP!!!!
A taxicab starts at (1,-2) on the grid. It goes 3 blocks and 1 block south to pick up a passenger. Then it goes 6 blocks west and 5 blocks north to drop off the passenger. What are the coordinates of the point where the passenger was dropped off?

Answer 2

any attempts to draw it? you can do a quick sketch, start by plotting (1,-2) and start by going 3 blocks (check the problem again, does it say any direction after "3 blocks"?) and 1 block south, then checking where the new coordinates are

Answer 3

A taxicab starts at (1 ; - 2) on the grid.

It 3 blocks east and 1 block south: → (1 + 3 ; - 2 - 4) = (4 ; - 6)

Then it goes 6 blocks west and 5 blocks north: → (4 - 6 ; - 6 + 5) = (- 2 ; - 1)

Coordinates of the point → (- 2 ; - 1)
