Question

Which point on the coordinate plane below represents (5, -3)

Answer 1

R is your answer hun

Answer 2

Hello!

The answer is:

The point "R" represents the coordinate (5,-3).

Why?

We need to remember that the given point is a plane point, which makes reference to a location according to a plane that has only two dimensions (x and y), for the planes, a point is represented by an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate being the point  "p" represented like p(x,y)

We are given a point that has an x-coordinate equal to 5 and a y-coordinate equal to -3, being the point any point n(5,-3)

To answer the question, we need to find a point that has an x-coordinate equal to 5, and a y-coordinate equal to -3.

So, discarding from the different points shown in the graph, we have:

- Point P:

Looking on the coordinate plane, we have the point "P" has the following coordinates:

$x=-5\\y=3$

So, the P(-5,3) point does not match with the given point.

- Point Q:

Looking on the coordinate plane, we have the point "Q" has the following coordinates:

$x=5\\y=3$

So, the Q(5,3) point does not match with the given point.

- Point R,

Looking on the coordinate plane, we have the point "R" has the following coordinates:

$x=5\\y=-3$

So, the R(5,-3) point matches with the given point.

Hence, the point "R" represents the coordinate (5,-3).

Have a nice day!
