Answer 2

The correct answer is a. |x-10 y-4|.

Explanation:

Let the initial position where the football is thrown up the air be x and y.

After the ball is thrown up the air it moves 10 feet west 4 feet south because of the gust of wind.

Therefore the change in x is by 10 feet west and is at the point x - 10 and the change in y is by 4 feet south and is at the point y - 4.

Thus the matrix representing the position of the football is |x-10 y-4|.
