Question

the grid shown was created for a paleontology dig for fossilized dinosaur bones. one of a paleontologist uses to dig up fossils is called a trowel. how can you move the trowel to the point where the dinosaur bone is buried? move the trowel units right, then units up.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the horizontal movement

The trowel starts at \(x = 0\) (on the \(x -\)axis) and needs to move to \(x=4\). The number of units moved right is \(4 - 0=4\).

Step2: Determine the vertical movement

The trowel starts at \(y = 0\) (on the \(y -\)axis) and needs to move to \(y = 3\). The number of units moved up is \(3-0 = 3\).

Answer:

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