A bird flies from its nest going north for 2 hours at a speed of

20 km/h and then goes west for 3 hours at 15 km/h. What
are the distance coordinates for the bird relative to its nest?

Consider the nest to be (0,0)
The bird first flew 40 km (20x2) up and then 45km (15x3) left
So the final coordinates would be (40, -45)
