Question

consider the following.

\\(a(-5, 2)\\)
\\(b(0, 0)\\)

step 1 of 2: plot the given points on the graph.

Explanation:

Identify the given points

Using the Cartesian Coordinates knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Plot point A

Using the Plotting Points knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Plot point B

Using the Plotting Points knowledge point

$$
LATEXBLOCK2
$$

Answer:

To plot the given points on the coordinate plane:

• Point \(A(-5, 2)\): Start at the origin \((0,0)\), move \(5\) units to the left along the \(x\)-axis, and then move \(2\) units up parallel to the \(y\)-axis. Place a point at this location.
• Point \(B(0, 0)\): Place a point directly at the origin, where the \(x\)-axis and \(y\)-axis intersect.
