Question

what are the coordinates of point t? write your answer as an integer or decimal to the nearest 0.5.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine x - coordinate

Point \( T \) lies on the vertical line corresponding to \( x=-5 \) (since it is directly above/below the \( x = - 5 \) mark on the x - axis). So the x - coordinate of \( T \) is \( - 5 \).

Step2: Determine y - coordinate

Looking at the y - axis, the point \( T \) is on the horizontal line between \( y=-2 \) and \( y = - 1 \), and it is exactly at the mid - point (since we need to the nearest 0.5). The mid - point between \( y=-2 \) and \( y=-1 \) is \( y=\frac{-2+( - 1)}{2}=\frac{-3}{2}=-1.5 \). So the y - coordinate of \( T \) is \( - 1.5 \).

Answer:

\((-5, - 1.5)\)
