Answer:
(-5,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinate of his house ≡ (0,0)
Given that positive x axis represent the direction that is east of his house, then
i) negative x axis must represent the direction that is west of his house.
ii) positive y axix must represent the direction that is north of his house,
iii) negative y axis must represent the direction that is south of his house.
Now, since his school is 5 km to the west and 3 km north of his house, this means that 5 unitss on negative x axis and 3 units on positive y axis.
hence coordinate of his house will be (-5,3).
