Placing \(M\) at the origin \((0, 0)\): - \(K\) is \(5\text{ m}\) East of \(M \implies K = (5, 0)\). - \(J\) is \(5\text{ m}\) South of \(K \implies J = (5, -5)\). - \(G\)…

Point K is 5 m to the East of point M. Point J is 5 m to the South of point K. Point G is 10 m to the West of point J. In which direction is point M from point G?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Placing MM at the origin (0,0)(0, 0):
- KK is 5 m5\text{ m} East of M  ⟹  K=(5,0)M \implies K = (5, 0).
- JJ is 5 m5\text{ m} South of K  ⟹  J=(5,−5)K \implies J = (5, -5).
- GG is 10 m10\text{ m} West of J  ⟹  G=(5−10,−5)=(−5,−5)J \implies G = (5 - 10, -5) = (-5, -5).
From G(−5,−5)G(-5, -5), point M(0,0)M(0, 0) lies 5 m5\text{ m} East and 5 m5\text{ m} North, which is in the North-East direction.
