Question 1065351: Ricardo designed a treasure hunt for his friends. The hunt begins at the plaza (-4,0). The first clue is hidden 5 units north of the plaza and the second clue is located 6 units east of the plaza and the 3rd clue is located & units south of the plaza. What are the coordinates of Clue number 1, clue number 2 and 3?

Start at ( -4,0 )
5 units north means that the y-coordinate increases
but the x-coordinate does not change, so
5 units north is at
{ -4 , 0 )
y1 = 0 + 5
y1 = 5
( -4, 5 )
----------------
6 units east means that the x-coordinate increases,
but the y-coordinate does not change, so
6 units east is at
{ x1, 0 }
x1 = -4 + 6
x1 = 2
( 2, 0 )
----------------
( is this 7 units south? I'm guessing it is )
7 units south means that the y-coordinate decreases,
but the x-coordinate does not change, so
7 units south is at
( -4, y2 )
y2 = 0 - 7
y2 = -7
( -4, -7 )
----------------
Hope this helps
