Question

I need help explaining...
Give an example of an ordered pair that is plotted by only moving left from the origin along the x-axis. Explain.

I already have my ordered pair, which is (-4,0), but what do I explain, and how do I explain?

Answer 1

I would assume that would would explain how the ordered pair relates to the question. For example how does (-4,0) only move left from the origin along the x-axis .

Answer 2

sounds like a common core question .... take what is common sense and make it as complicated as you possibly can

Answer 3

by definition, moving left on the x axis is heading in the negative direction

all values to the left of 0 are negative.

etc ....

Answer 4

(-4,0) is an ordered pair that move left from the origin, (0,0), that is also along the x axis. The x coordinate is -4, because to the left of the origin is the x-axis negative numbers. Then y coordinate is 0, because it says to stay on the x-axis, and staying on the x-axis makes it 0.


^Like that?

Answer 5

that makes sense to me ... it is simply an explanation of how you arrived at your solution.

Answer 6

Okay! Thanks.

Answer 7

good luck :)
