Question

at the ranger station, jen asks the ranger where the large rock formation is. the ranger says that it is 3 miles west and 6 miles south of the station. what are the coordinates of the rock formation on the grid? enter the coordinates in the boxes below. the rock formation is located at ( , ).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify station coordinates

Assume the station is at (7, 5) (from the grid).

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of rock

Move 3 miles west (subtract 3 from x - coordinate of station). So, \(7 - 3=4\).

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of rock

Move 6 miles south (subtract 6 from y - coordinate of station). So, \(5 - 6=- 1\).

Answer:

(4, -1)
