Question

another fossilized bone was found outside the area of the grid. the paleontologists need to extend the grid so they can record the location of the new bone. how can you move the trowel to the new point where the dinosaur bone is buried? move the trowel units, then units.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the horizontal movement

The trowel is at \(x = 0\) and the dinosaur bone is at \(x = 4\). So we need to move \(4\) units to the right (in the positive \(x -\) direction).

Step2: Determine the vertical movement

The trowel is at \(y=0\) and the dinosaur bone is at \(y = 3\). So we need to move \(3\) units up (in the positive \(y -\) direction).

Answer:

Move the trowel \(4\) units right, then \(3\) units up.
