Answer: The new coordinates are (-2, 7)

===========================================================

Reasoning:

The elephant is at location (-6,-1)

Move 8 units up and we move to (-6,7). Add 8 to the y coordinate while keeping the x coordinate the same.

Then we move 4 units to the right to arrive at (-2, 7). I added 4 to the x coordinate and kept the y coordinate the same.

There are no animals at this location, but Cory is between the giraffe and the deer. In other words, if you draw a line segment from the giraffe to the deer, then Cory's new location is on this line segment. He is closest to the giraffe.
