Question

Ship A receives a distress signal from the northeast and ship B receives a distress signal from the same vessel from the west. At what location is the vessel in distress located? Describe how you arrived at your conclusion using complete sentences.

Answer 1

First plot the points.
Second based on the two directions from the points you know that up is north, Right is east, West is left, and down is south on the graph.
Draw a line from the two points in the direction that it says the ship received the call from. 
so the ship is at Ordered pair 3,3 :) 

Answer 2

Coordinate geometry is the use of a 2D plane to represent the location of points. The position or location of the distress is in the first quadrant.

The coordinates of ship A and B are not given. So, I will give a general explanation.

On the four cardinal points,

• North is upwards
• East is at the right
• West is at the left
• South is downward

So, if ship A receives a distress from the northeast, then it means that the distress is coming from a location at the top right of A. i.e. the first quadrant.

Also, ship B receives distress from the west. This means that ship B is at the right-hand side of the distress.

So, we can conclude that the position or location of the distress is at the first quadrant.

It is impossible to determine the actual coordinates of the distress because the coordinates are not given (see attachment possible illustration)
