On a graph, a school is shown $6$ units east and $2$ units north of a fixed origin. Taking east as positive $x$ and north as positive $y$, the coordinates of the school are:
  1. $(2,6)$
  2. $(6,2)$
  3. $(-6,-2)$
  4. $(-2,6)$

Solution

$x = 6$ (east) and $y = 2$ (north), so the school is at $(6,2)$.
