I move 5 units towards the east direction and then move 7 units towards the north direction starting from the origin. What will be my coordinates?
(Positive x - axis = Direction of east)

Solution

Given,
East direction = positive x - axis
If I move 5 units towards east, I will be on +5 on x-axis and from there if i move 7 units towards North means I need to move +7 in positive y-axis..
Let's draw a cartesian plane and see our movement.
From the figure, we can see that the coordinates will be ( 5, 7).
