Question

1. how can you move the trowel to the new point where the dinosaur bone is buried? move the trowel 3 units left, then 2 units down. 2. what is the x - coordinate of the point where the dinosaur bone is located? x - coordinate: - 3 3. what is the y - coordinate of the point where the dinosaur bone is located? y - coordinate:

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze horizontal movement

Moving 3 units left means subtracting 3 from the x - coordinate.

Step2: Analyze vertical movement

Moving 2 units down means subtracting 2 from the y - coordinate. Since the x - coordinate of the new point is - 3 and we moved 3 units left and 2 units down from an unknown starting point, assume the starting - point x - coordinate is \(x\) and \(x-3=-3\), so \(x = 0\). For the y - coordinate, if we start from some \(y\) value and move 2 units down to get the y - coordinate of the new point. Since we moved 2 units down, the y - coordinate of the new point is \(y - 2\). If we assume the starting y - coordinate is 0 (not given otherwise), the y - coordinate of the new point is \(0 - 2=-2\).

Answer:
