Answer:

(6, 3) in the same quardrant.

Explanation:

An easy way to solve this is to subtract those numbers from the ordered pair.

(11,10)

5 7

(6,3)

You subtract because moving down and/or left means subtracting on a coordinate plane. So, you specifically have to subtract 10-7, because moving to the left means not only subtraction, but it would be on the x-axis. And the same for 11-5, because it's on the y-axis.

Horizontal=x-axis

Vertical-y-axis

I hope this helps. Using graph paper or drawing it out can help. But if you aren't able to or don't want to, here's your answer.

Hope it helps you! <3

It would end up at (4,5)

You move 7 units left which you would subtract 7 from 11 to get 4. and then it goes 5 units so subtract thay from 10
