Question

You are to make four straight-line moves over a flat desert floor, starting at the origin of an xy coordinate system and ending at the xy coordinates (-127 m, 62 m). The x component and y component of your moves are the following, respectively, in meters: (20 and 60), then (b_x and -70), then (-20 and c_y), then (-60 and -70). What are (a) component b_x and (b) component c_y? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the angle (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the overall displacement?
