Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking at a coordinate grid treasure map. The grid has an x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical), both going from -10 to 10. The center point (where the axes cross) is (0, 0).
The red “X” marks the spot — that’s where the treasure is buried! We need to find its coordinates.
Step 1: Find the X position (left or right from center).
- Look at the red “X”. It is to the right of the vertical line (y-axis).
- Count how many squares to the right it is from the center (0).
- Starting at 0, move right: 1, 2, 3 → so x = 3.
Step 2: Find the Y position (up or down from center).
- The red “X” is below the horizontal line (x-axis).
- Count how many squares down it is from the center (0).
- Starting at 0, move down: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 → so y = -6.
Wait — let me double-check that.
Looking again:
- From the center (0,0), go right 3 units → x = 3.
- Then go down… let’s count carefully:
- Down 1 → y = -1
- Down 2 → y = -2
- Down 3 → y = -3
- Down 4 → y = -4
- Down 5 → y = -5
- Down 6 → y = -6
Yes, that’s correct. The red “X” is at (3, -6).
But wait — let me check if there’s any trick here. Is the “X” exactly on a grid intersection? Yes, it looks like it lands right on the corner where x=3 and y=-6 meet.
Also, notice the compass rose in the bottom right — but we don’t need it for coordinates since the grid already tells us directions with positive/negative numbers.
Final check:
- Right 3 → +3 on x-axis.
- Down 6 → -6 on y-axis.
So the coordinates are (3, -6).
Final Answer:
(3, -6)
