To determine the location of the baseball field using rectangular coordinates, we need to translate the given information into an (x,y) coordinate pair, where 'x' represents the horizontal position (east-west) and 'y' represents the vertical position (north-south).
Based on the description, the baseball field is located:
- 10 blocks west of Street B
- 29 blocks north of Street A
In a Cartesian plane, moving west from the y-axis means moving in the negative x-direction, and moving north from the x-axis means moving in the positive y-direction.
Accordingly:
- The "10 blocks west of Street B" translates to -10 on the x-axis.
- The "29 blocks north of Street A" translates to +29 on the y-axis.
Therefore, the rectangular coordinates for the location of the baseball field are (-10, 29), with -10 being the x-coordinate and 29 being the y-coordinate.
The ordered pair representing the location is: (-10, 29).
