Asked by SCCA 6th Grade

Hello. I am having some difficulty with this problem. Could you please check my answer?

You start searching for a buried object by marking the center of a field as (0, 0), with coordinates giving distances in yards. Coordinates to the north or east are positive, and coordinates to the south or west are negative. You find nothing at (-5, 3), so you try a likely looking spot 6 yards to the east and 5 yards to the south of the first spot. What are the likely coordinates of the second spot?

A. (0, 0)
B. (-9, -5)
C. (-3, -2)
D. (1, -2) <<< My answer

Thanks homework helper!
Tbh I think the answer actually is B... I've been seeing mixed results tho. Everything either says A, B, or D. But I'm gonna go with B and see how it works out.
