Question

consider the following.

step 2 of 2: identify the coordinates of the points a and b on the graph.

answer

a: ( , )
b: ( , )

Explanation:

Identify the axes

Find the horizontal and vertical axes.
The horizontal line is the \(x\)-axis.
The vertical line is the \(y\)-axis.
The intersection is the origin \((0,0)\).

Determine the grid scale

Count grid units to find scale.
Major labels are at \(-10\), \(-5\), \(5\), and \(10\).
There are 5 grid squares between \(0\) and \(5\).
Each grid line represents \(1\) unit.

Find coordinates of Point A

Locate point A on the graph.
Using Cartesian Coordinates, we find its position.
Point A lies on the horizontal \(x\)-axis.
Count \(5\) units to the right.
The \(x\)-coordinate is \(5\).
The point is on the axis, so \(y\) is \(0\).
Using Plotting Points, the coordinates are \((5, 0)\).

Find coordinates of Point B

Locate point B on the graph.
Point B lies on the vertical \(y\)-axis.
Count \(4\) units up from the origin.
The \(y\)-coordinate is \(4\).
The point is on the axis, so \(x\) is \(0\).
The coordinates are \((0, 4)\).

Answer:
