You start a search for a buried object by marking the center of a field as (0, 0), with coordinates giving distances in yards. Coordinates to the north or east are positive and coordinates to the south or west are negative. You find nothing at (–12, 8), so you try a likely-looking spot 3 yards to the east and 11 yards to the south of the first spot. What are the coordinates of the second spot?

(-12+3,8-11)=(-9,-3)
thats the spot

Answer:

Second spot will be at (-9, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am searching a buried object by making the center of a field as (0, 0) as origin.

We know on the all the distances on y-axis towards North and East directions will be positive and distances towards West and South will be negative.

Now at point A(-12, 8) I find nothing so I tried a likely looking spot at 3 yards to the east and 11 yards to the south of the first spot.

Therefore, the new spot will be at

For x - coordinates

-12 + 3 = -9 towards east

For y - coordinates

8 - 11 = -3 towards south

New looking like spot will be at (-15, -3)
