3. anonymous

4. anonymous

@Nnesha can u check??

5. anonymous

i thought it was c but it looks like mehek has got it i wanna be sure

6. Nnesha

show ur work how did YOU get c ?

7. anonymous

i thought c because i mixed up the first part of the equation, -7 - 3 = -4 and 4 - -1 = 3

8. anonymous

instead of going up in negatives i went down everything else i did was correct

9. Nnesha

no x-coordinate isn't 3

10. Nnesha

4 - -1 = 3 there is no 3 in x-coordinate

-7 - 3 -4 --------- = ---- that is my mistake 4 - (-1) 3

14. Nnesha

4 - (-1) first distribute - by -1 then add 4

15. anonymous

16. Nnesha

-7-3 both numbers have same sign so you should add them
