Problem

Three delivery drones are currently located at the points D1(−1.5,2)D_1(-1.5,2), D2(4,−3)D_2(4,-3) and D3(0,1.8)D_3(0,1.8) on a coordinate grid. (i) Arrange the drones in order of increasing horizontal distance from the y-axis. Explain your method clearly. (ii) Which drone is positioned farthest south? Support your answer with a comparison of ordinates. (iii) Drone D2D_2 must move so that it shares the same ordinate as D1D_1 while keeping its abscissa unchanged. Write the new coordinates of D2D_2 and state whether this point lies above or below the x-axis.
