<PRE><B>Question 960331</B>
The x axis is east and west, east is positive.
The y axis is north and south, north is positive.
 1-1/2 miles east,_____________+1.5x=+1.5x+0y 
 then a 3/4 mile south, _______-3/4y=+1.5x-3/4y
 then a 1 mile west, ____________-1x=+0.5x-3/4y
 then a 1/2 mile south, _______-1/2y=+0.5x-1.25y
 then a  1 mile west, ___________-1x=-0.5x-1.25y
 then a  1/2 mile south, ______-1/2y=0.0x-1.75y
 then a 1 mile west, ____________-1x=-1.5x-1.75y
 then a 3/4 mile north and_____+3/4y=-1.5x-1.0y
 a 1/2 mile east_______________+1/2x=-1.0x-1.0y

-1.0x means 1 mile west, -1.0y means 1 mile south
(-1,-1) is {{{sqrt(2)miles}}} from the origin.</PRE>
