uppose you start at the origin, move along the x-axis a distance of 7 units in the positive direction, and then move downward along the z-axis a distance of 6 units. What are the coordinates of your position

(7, -6). This is because you are moving 7 to the right (in other words, ADDING 7 to the x value) and going DOWN 6 units on the y axis (subtracting from y value). Remember that the origin is (0, 0) and coordinates are represented as (x, y)
