Problem

A particle is at x=−4 mx = -4\,\text{m} in a frame where rightward is taken as positive. Another observer uses the same origin but takes leftward as positive. What coordinate will this observer assign to the particle? (a) −4 m-4\,\text{m} (b) 0 m0\,\text{m} (c) 4 m4\,\text{m} (d) −8 m-8\,\text{m}
