Question

on the coordinate plane below, which point is best represented by the coordinates ( -3, 3)?

Answer 1

the point represented by the coordinates (-3,3) is P

Explanation

the cartesian plane is defined as a two-dimensional coordinate plane, which is formed by the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis

Step 1

to locate a coordinate in the plane

a)Start from the origin when locating a point in the coordinate plane. Count in either the positive (right) or negative (left) direction along the x-axis to the number, so

for

$\begin{gathered} (-3,3) \\ x=-3 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}$

then, move 3 unit to the left along x-axis

then

Similarly, the second number represents the position of the point on the y-axis and is accordingly named the y-coordinate.Similarly, the second number represents the position of the point on the y-axis and is accordingly named the y-coordinate.

positive up

negative down

hence

$\begin{gathered} (-3,3) \\ x=-3 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}$

y is 3,so up 3 units

therefore,

the point represented by the coordinates (-3,3) is P
