Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below the position of Elevator 1.
Elevator 1 is 13 feet below ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet above the position of Elevator 1.
Elevator 1 is 13 feet below ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet above ground level.

Answer 1

its 13 feet above ground level

Explanation:

because it also says +13. the other explanation before mine was great but i just wanted to add to it :)<3

Answer 2

The correct answer I believe you are looking for is D. Elevator 1 is 13 feet above ground level, and Elevator 2 is 10 feet below ground level.

Explaination:

This is because if you start at (0, 0) Elevator one, will go up 13 on the y axis. Putting it at 13 feet above ground level. If you start Elevator 2 at ground level on (0, 0) and go down 10 it will make it -10 AKA 10 feet below ground level.

I hope this helps! :)
