A movie theater is located on a map of a city represented by a coordinate plane. The location of the movie theater is at (−3, −4). Which map shows the correct location of the movie theater?

1; A coordinate grid with a point at 3 units to the right and 4 units down from the origin labeled movie theater.

2; A coordinate grid with a point at 3 units to the left and 4 units down from the origin labeled movie theater.

3; A coordinate grid with a point at 3 units to the right and 4 units up from the origin labeled movie theater.

4; A coordinate grid with a point at 3 units to the left and 4 units up from the origin labeled movie theater.

Answer 1

In pretty sure it’s the 1st choice I’m so sorry if it’s wrong

Answer 2

The 1st choice

Explanation:

Let a point is defined as P(a,b).

If a>0, then point is a units right from origin and if a<0, then then point is a units left from origin.

If b>0, then point is b units up from origin and if b<0, then then point is b units down from origin.

It is given that the location of the movie theater is at (2, −3).

In the given point a=2>0 and b=-3<0.

A coordinate grid with a point at 2 units to the right and 3 units down from the origin labeled movie theater.
