On a coordinate grid, ming's house is located 2 blocks to the right and blocks up from (0. 0). joe's house is located 3 blocks to the right and 2 blocks down from ming's house. what ordered pair describes the location of joe's house?

If on a coordinate grid, Ming's house is located 2 blocks to the right and (I suppose also 2) blocks up from (0. 0), then the ordered pair that describes the location of Ming's house is (2,2) (moving right 2 units from some point you have to add 2 units to the x-coordinate of the point from which you are moving and moving up 2 units from this point you have to add 2 units to y-coordinate of the point from which you are moving up).

If Joe's house is located 3 blocks to the right and 2 blocks down from Ming's house, then the ordered pair that describes the location of Ming's house is (2+3,2-2), that is (5,0) (moving right 3 units from some point you have to add 3 units to the x-coordinate of the point from which you are moving and moving down 2 units from the point you have to substract 2 units from y-coordinate of the point from which you are moving down).
