Question

The skating rink is found at the coordinates of (-3, 1). Jack's house is found 5 units horizontal and to the left of the skating rink. What are the coordinates of Jack's house?

Answer 1

(-8,1)

Explanation:

The skating rink is found at the coordinates of (-3,1).

We imagine the coordinate axes and the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertically placed.

It is given that Jack's house is found 5 units horizontal and to the left of the skating rink.

So, we have to move by 5 units left horizontally, which means the coordinates of Jack's house will be (- 3 - 5,1) ≡ (-8,1). (Answer)
