Question

which point has coordinates (left(-4, -2\frac{1}{2}
ight))? graph of coordinate plane with points u, v, w, x options: u, v, w, x

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point is \(-4\). So we look for the point that lies on the vertical line \(x = - 4\). Among the points \(U\), \(V\), \(W\), \(X\), the points \(X\) and the other points: \(U\) has \(x>0\), \(V\) has \(x > 0\), \(W\) has \(x=-3\), and \(X\) has \(x = - 4\).

Step2: Analyze y - coordinate

The y - coordinate is \(-2\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{5}{2}=-2.5\). We check the y - coordinate of the points on \(x=-4\). The point \(X\) is on the line \(x = - 4\) and its y - coordinate is between \(-2\) and \(-3\), closer to \(-2.5\) (since \(-2\frac{1}{2}\) is the mid - point of \(-2\) and \(-3\)). The other points: \(W\) has \(y = 4\), \(U\) has \(y = 4\), \(V\) has \(y\) between \(-2\) and \(-3\) but \(x
eq - 4\).

Answer:

X
