Question

What are the coordinates of point E?
(5, –4)
(–4, –5)
(–5, –4)
(–5, 4)

Answer 1

@phi

Answer 2

(-5,-4)

Answer 3

are you sure it's -4 and not +4

Answer 4

to do this find point E. (It is the point with an E near it)

count how many squares it is to the left of the origin (where the lines cross)
when you go left, it is a minus number.
count down how many squares point E is below the line. below the line is a minus number

Answer 5

the number to the left or right is called x, and always goes first
the number up or down, called y, always goes second
list the (x,y) pair for point E

Answer 6

so it's (-5, 4)

Answer 7

is E below the x-axis ?

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

or look at the label on the y-axis to the right of point E... does it say -5 or +5 ?

Answer 10

Down (below the x-axis) is negative.
Left of the y-axis is negative.

Answer 11

So you're saying that it's -5-4

Answer 12

with a comma in between

Answer 13

yeah so (-5.-4)

Answer 14

I have more questions

Answer 15

If the coordinates of a point have opposite signs, which quadrants could the point be in? Quadrants I and II
Quadrants I and III
Quadrants II and IV
Quadrants II and III

Answer 16

Quadrant II: because has Y positive axis and X negative axis.
Quadrant IV: because has X positive axis and Y negative axis.

So Quadrants II and IV.

Okay I have more

Answer 18

4. Which ordered pair would be plotted by starting from the origin and moving 1.25 units right and then 0.5 units down?
(–0.5, 1.25)
(1.25, –0.5)
(–1.25, 0.5)
(0.5, –1.25)
