Question

Sample Response: Start at the origin. The x-coordinate is −2½ , so move left 2½ units. −2½ is halfway between −3 and −2. The y-coordinate is −4, so move down 4 units. Plot the point. Which did you include in your response? Check all that apply. Start at (0, 0). First move 2 units left on the x-axis. –2 is halfway between –2 and –3. Next, move down 4 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To correctly plot the point described in the question, you would follow these steps:

1. Start at the origin, which is the point (0, 0) on the coordinate plane.

2. The x-coordinate is -2½, which means you need to move 2½ units to the left on the x-axis. Since -2½ is halfway between -3 and -2, position yourself at that point.

3. Then, the y-coordinate is -4, indicating you should move down 4 units on the y-axis from where you are positioned.

4. Finally, plot the point where the x and y axes intersect after moving left 2½ units and down 4 units. This point represents the coordinates (-2½, -4) on the coordinate plane.
