Question

he walked 5 units south and met his friend joshua. after that, he walked 2 units east and there he bumped into his friend ethan. at what location on the coordinate grid did sam meet ethan?
a. point (-3, 5)
b. point (-3, -5)
c. point (-1, -3)
d. point (-3, -1)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify starting - point coordinates

Assume Sam starts at point (-3, 2). South movement affects the y - coordinate negatively.

Step2: Calculate coordinates after moving south

Moving 5 units south means subtracting 5 from the y - coordinate. So, new y - coordinate is \(2 - 5=-3\), and x - coordinate remains - 3. The new point is (-3, - 3).

Step3: Calculate coordinates after moving east

Moving 2 units east means adding 2 to the x - coordinate. So, new x - coordinate is \(-3 + 2=-1\), and y - coordinate remains - 3. The final point is (-1, - 3).

Answer:

C. point (-1, -3)
