Question

I move east a distance of 4km, south a distance of 2 km, and then west a dostance of 1km. What is the cartesian cordinates relative to my starting point ?

Answer 1

In x: 4-1=3

In y: -2

Cartesian coordinates: (3,-2)

Explanation:

If we move horizontally we must consider only the x axis, if we move to east it is positive, and if we move to west it is negative.

f we move vertically we must consider only the y axis, if we move to north it is positive, and if we move to south it is negative.
