Question

Siena draws a map of her flower garden. She wants to plant roses 6 feet away from the marigolds and 5 feet away from the lavender. Where should Siena plant the roses?

(­–2, 3)? or (–2, 4)? or (–3, 2)? or (3, –2)?

Answer 1

Siena should plant the roses at coordinates (–2, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine where Siena should plant the roses, we need to consider their distance from the marigolds and lavender. The roses should be planted 6 feet away from the marigolds and 5 feet away from the lavender. Looking at the given options, the coordinates (–2, 3) and (–3, 2) are 6 feet away from the marigolds, but only the coordinates (–2, 4) are 5 feet away from the lavender. Therefore, Siena should plant the roses at coordinates (–2, 4).

Answer 2

The answer would be (3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

At the location of (3,-2), if you went upwards 6 units, you would be at the Marigolds. If you went to the left 5 units, you would be at the Lavender. Therefore, (3,-2) is the correct answer.
