Amovie theater is located on a map of a city represented by a coordinate plane. the location of the movie theater is at (2, −3). which map shows the correct location of the movie theater? a coordinate grid with a point at 2 units to the right and 3 units down from the origin labeled movie theater. a coordinate grid with a point at 2 units to the left and 3 units down from the origin labeled movie theater. a coordinate grid with a point at 2 units to the left and 3 units up from the origin labeled movie theater. a coordinate grid with a point at 2 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin labeled movie theater.

The first coordinate represents units to the right; the second coordinate represents units up. If the values are negative, the direction is the opposite.

(2, -3) represents 2 units to the right and 3 units down. The 1st choice is appropriate.

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a point is defined as P(a,b).  

If a>0, then point is a units right from origin and if a<0, then then point is a units left from origin.

If b>0, then point is b units up from origin and if b<0, then then point is b units down from origin.

It is given that the location of the movie theater is at (2, −3).

In the given point a=2>0 and b=-3<0.

A coordinate grid with a point at 2 units to the right and 3 units down from the origin labeled movie theater.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
