Answer 1

Have you tried graphing your point?

Answer 2

Yes, I put the point on the graph and then I came up with (-5, 2) but I don't know if that's right.

Answer 3

Close. So if you graph your original point you get something like this right?

Yes.

Answer 5

so lets draw a line from the point to the origin that basically looks like a triangle right?
