Answer:

(-1,-3) on the coordinate grid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The location from where Sam started his morning walk is 3 units to the left and 2 units up from the origin. This location is indicated by the point (-3,2).

He walked 5 units south and met his friend Joshua.

So, find the point that is 5 units to the south of point (-3,2). Distances north and south on the map represent a change in the y-coordinate. Moving 5 units to the south on the map from point (-3,2) places the new location at point (-3,-3).

Sam then walked 2 units east, where he met his friend, Ethan.

So, find the point that is 2 units to the east of point (-3,-3). Distances east and west on the map represent a change in the x-coordinate. Moving 2 units to the east on the map from point (-3,-3) places the new location at point (-1,-3).

So, Sam met Ethan at the location indicated by point (-1,-3) on the coordinate grid.
