Question

2.4.ps - 17
plot the point (-1.5,3.5).
plot the ordered pair.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the coordinates

The point is (-1.5, 3.5). The first - value -1.5 is the x - coordinate and the second value 3.5 is the y - coordinate.

Step2: Locate the x - coordinate

On the x - axis, move 1.5 units to the left of the origin (since the x - coordinate is negative).

Step3: Locate the y - coordinate

From the position on the x - axis found in Step 2, move 3.5 units up along the y - direction (since the y - coordinate is positive). Mark the point.

Answer:

The point (-1.5, 3.5) is plotted on the coordinate plane by moving 1.5 units left on the x - axis and 3.5 units up on the y - axis from the origin.
